What Do Audiences Say about Yanes-Hoffman's Lectures?
Sample comments from international and national medical
audiences:
- "A vivid, dynamic, provocative thinker, Yanes-Hoffman always leaves her audiences of doctors and other health-care professionals with new ways to address about traditional procedures."
- "Physicians always flock to Yanes-Hoffman's lectures because she gives them so much to consider about simple ways to improve patient care and enhance their own satisfaction with medicine."
- "Yanes-Hoffman's talks are steeped in physicians' ever-increasing questions of 'How can we make medicine better? How can we take better care of our patients? How can we as physicians obtain more psychic gratification from patient care?' Amazingly, she always comes up with practical, workable strategies to improve the quality of care and physicians'
satisfaction with their practices."
- "Yanes-Hoffman somehow manages to show physicians and managed care organizations how they can overcome their traditional animosities and work together to make health care better."
- "As Emerson said long ago, Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Yanes-Hoffman's enthusiasm for improving doctor-patient communication is contagious--and well worth catching."
