What's been said about TeamWorks!

"To build trust at the organizational level, we can look to programs such as Team Works!—a set of structured workshops and peer consultation in a "safe" environment for institutional teams to train in collaborative problem solving."—Crossing the Cultural Divide in Academic Medicine, Darrell G. Kirch, M.D., AAMC President and CEO, AAMC Reporter, Nov. 2007

"I now have tools to encourage team work in others."—2008 TeamWorks! scholar

"This program was instrumental in changing a project in trouble into a success at my institution. Without the insights I learned here, I don't believe I would have been able to successfully navigate the problems that our change team was encountering."—2008 TeamWorks! scholar
