"I felt as though I gained far more from Module 2 (Veterinary Medical Acupuncture for Sports Medicine/Rehabilitation Patients) than Module 1, but not necessarily due to the fact that the module was better. It had far more to do with the amount of needling practice that I was able to do in the weeks separating the two courses … the increase in confidence in the actual needle handling and point finding allowed me to focus far more on the finer points of learning new areas to choose for specific conditions."
—Erin True, DVM, CCRT, Elk Grove, California
"I have been lucky enough to have been taught by Bonnie but also work with her on a day-to-day basis. Bonnie is one of the most intelligent humans I've met, but it's her passion that makes her a great teacher. She truly loves learning and sharing her knowledge with people. Her excitement about new research is infectious. Outside of her academic abilities, Bonnie is an amazing clinician who demonstrates the utmost care towards her patients and clients. I cannot be thankful enough for how much her expertise has influenced my own practice."
—Andra Kowalczyk, DVM, CCRT, Annapolis Junction, Maryland

You went above and beyond to make us all feel comfortable in these changing times and the amount of thought and planning to make all of this happen so smoothly was incredible. The in-class instructors were amazing (as always) and had total patience with everything they had to do with social distancing and let us still have an incredible hands-on experience! Kudos to all of you and thank you!!" –Lisa St. Aubin, DVM, MPVM, CVSMT, CCRT, Gales Ferry, Connecticut
