Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, June 2010 "Thank you for a wonderful course. Besides gaining a lot of practical information, it strengthened my confidence." "I enjoyed the whole experience of the lectures, workshops, clinical side, etc, etc. Wonderful to be part of an integrated team." "I have thoroughly enjoyed the course; and from the initial registration to the completion of the course, I feel that it is of excellent quality. I will continue to attend as the years follow!! Well done, thank you very much!!" Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, June 2009 “Marietta was very approachable and knowledgeable. I especially found her manual techniques very useful.” “Very pleased with practical applications of bandaging and self-made foam applications.” “Really helpful in her instruction and advice. I enjoyed bandaging creations and ideas.” “Very calm and knowledgeable tutor.” “You’re an excellent instructor and well organized. You’re insightful and intuitive to student needs. Really intuitive to our needs and ensured our questions were answered during other lecturers sessions—thanks !” “Always good to have feedback about MLD. Appreciated Marietta’s gentle and open approach and her experience.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2008
“Guenter was very helpful and knowledgeable with lists of alternatives for treatment.” “Excellent and clear lectures. Clarified a lot of cases that were questionable as far as my knowledge and experience. I fell like I’ve taken a step further toward being an expert in lymphedema treatment.” “Excellent as usual.” “Thanks! Guenter is obviously still excited about lymphedema.” “Guenter is very comfortable in front of class and also an excellent instructor.” “Excellent presentation and Guenter always made the class feel at ease. I never felt like any question I would ask was too insignificant.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2008
“Approachable and knowledgeable when answering questions (About Tobias Bertsch, M.D).”
“Excellent information which was really important to me in the understanding of infection.” “Invaluable lecture to the course.” “Very interesting.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2008
”This is perhaps my favorite lecture of the update course as I love hearing about new research to validate what we are doing with our patients (About Michael Oberlin, M.D).” “Very informative.” “A brilliant, informative lecture—again invaluable to the course.” “Very interesting.” “Very interesting content and good delivery.” “I could spend all day discussing and listening to case studies. I feel that this is one of the most beneficial and educational components of an advanced course.” “Really good and informative ways of problem solving. It has given me more confidence with difficult cases.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2008
“Overall, I really enjoyed the course and although I already did an advanced course here, it was 4 years ago and I felt that I needed to consolidate my knowledge again. What is especially beneficial is the opportunity to discuss cases/problems, etc, as many of us are lone practitioners with very little access to expert advice. So, from this point of view I feel more confident in going home to treat my patients. My favorite parts of the course were the patient demos and time spent in treatment rooms, the problem-solving session of our case studies, and the 'what’s new' session.”
“The MD lectures were particularly good and made me acutely aware of this lack in the USA. I learned much from the case studies and enjoyed the presentations.” “Congratulations!! It was a great course and I learned a lot. I am sure now that we are doing a good job back home.” “A thoroughly enjoyable class. To have been at the Foeldi Clinic was an amazing experience!” “Very valuable course—well organized and operated. Practical classroom sessions were helpful to check techniques.” “Lovely to be back here at the clinic. The doctors and therapists have been very generous, open and welcoming despite the number of visitors they have to deal with.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2008
“Excellent week–the best course we have done so far!” “Foeldi school and Klose Training have to expand more abroad…” “Great course–I really appreciate the MLD review.” “The highlight: observation. Thanks very much–fantastic mix of practice and theory and observation.” “Great! Regina (instructor) is wonderful and very generous in her teaching!” “She is very approachable and professional.” Foeldi Clinic, Hinterzarten, Germany, September 2007 |
