Estaba en las etapas iniciales de comprensión e incorporación de AAP en mi práctica, y el programa de certificación era exactamente lo que necesitaba. Me proporcionó los componentes educativos y prácticos que necesitaba para obtener una comprensión completa del campo. Los instructores fueron fantásticos. Calificaron constantemente y rápidamente, brindando comentarios reflexivos y útiles. Me desafiaron y alentaron a llevar mi práctica al siguiente nivel.
