The “take-home-message” that Dr. Agins and Mrs. Agins attempt to instill is to adopt a profound respect for, but also cautious attitude about drugs - what they can do … and what their limitations are.  After many years “on the road” and every conceivable pharmacology question from their audiences, they maintain their great sense of humor and wit, as well as a unique talent for breathing life into dry or difficult subject matter.  Their goal is to make this course memorable, informative and enjoyable … essentially the very best pharmacology CE experience for everyone who attends.
