"Pam’s program Oral Care for the Aging Special Needs Patient is both practical and informative. Her presentation delivery is fantastic and goes a long way into taking the “fear” out of working with the elderly. I felt confidant that I could leave the presentation and go directly to a nursing home facility and work."
