I believe that's the idea. I thought my little town was isolated until I took a CME course in Canada. Met doctors from towns where it would take two, three days to evacuate a patient......IF the weather cooperated.<br/><br/>Having done overseas work, albeit limited compared to some, it's nice to see such training offered in the USA. I went to England for some of that didactic work 'cause it wasn't offered in the USA at the time. Made sense. They used to own the world, so they had the owner's manual.
