Dr. Omar Alshaya
I liked the diversity of trainers' experiences and their multiplicity, which added a rich value to the program. I also liked the good organization of simultaneous lectures, the smoothness of the presentation, and the harmony between the presenters and trainees, despite the diversity of the trainers. Also, I like applying simultaneous lecture strategies by putting a poll question in the conversation to be more interactive. I also like the good planning and management of the activities within the side rooms and groups.
