Testimonial from 2018 CTAHE BOG Study Group Participant Noelle A. Linke:
“The instructors were all amazing…some Fellows, some experts in their fields and I learned something new every week.  I had the opportunity to learn about the structure of the BOG exam and get some study time in with those who have taken the exam already who could help me learn what to expect and how to strategize.  By far the most rewarding experience of the study group was the relationships that were built with my fellow healthcare leaders.  Coming together every week to share experiences, learn together and even participate in a little healthy competition was enriching and made it fun!  If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend participating in the CTAHE BOG study group.  It’s worth every minute!”
