Testimonials
It has been extremely gratifying to contribute to improving critical medical systems for some of India's poorest patients, even as these interactions have permanently altered my perspective on a doctor's role in society. Extreme is perhaps the most important class I have taken in over a decade of medical training - and I am certainly a better physician for it.Dr. Dhruv Kazi, School of Medicine, Extreme 2012
Extreme will be a class that I talk about for the rest of my life, and will undoubtedly influence my future career choices, management style and approach to problem solving.Kylan Lundeen, Graduate School of Business, Extreme 2012
