22. "Incredibly relevant content. Very educational. Plenty of time to
practice and strengthen practical skills. One has had the
opportunity to develop such important competencies to handle
the stress that we ALL will encounter in our future jobs as doctors.
Additionally, very kind, good, and competent teachers. Coffee
break(ed. FIKA) every day! ;) Fun course!! Lovely group.
I hold the summer vacation sacred, but would actually have gladly
replaced 2 weeks of vacation with 2 weeks of extended course. It's
probably the first and last time that feeling will arise during the
years at KI! If you choose this course, you will LOVE it and be so
satisfied with your choice!!!"

23. “That we had the opportunity to challenge and
push ourselves in an environment that was also
safe. That during the course, we had the
opportunity to get to know ourselves and our
own stress reactions better."

24. “Incredibly important information and practice. It
should be a mandatory course, as it provides
doctors who feel better and work better -
ultimately, it also becomes important for patients
and society. The team that conducted the course
did an incredible job and were very engaged.
Keep it up!"
