This is a required attendance at Moffitt so I don't know how they fit that into everyone's schedule and we only do it once a year. The attendees really do enjoy it and even after our time is up many many come down and continue to ask Trotti and I questions. Yesterday we were even asked to leave so the next class could start. You know me, I would still be there talking if they would let me. Don't know if it's me but they sure look really young to be med students and doctors!!!
