Additional information
The program offers a range of groups each semester to best meet trainee needs, and the program re-evaluates each semester and year to determine what needs may be. The program also offers workshops that are more structured. Effort has been made to offer a range of access to workshops, such as some workshops accessible online and having them be one hour in the hope of accommodating more people's schedules.
