"When the sand under Pharma started shifting, one of our proposals was revised and rejected four times before we called in Joe Green to teach us how to do a needs assessment. He spent a day with the staff members who are now creating proposals with needs assessments that are regularly approved by pharma compliance committees. We wouldn't have a CME program without Joe. He helped us start a CME program 10 years ago, took us through the initial application process, and has helped us maintain our accreditation. For the past two years, he has conducted annual training sessions for our staff."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Joseph Green who is a consummate professional and an outstanding educator. He has the capacity of making adult education interesting, intellectually stimulating and enjoyable."

Director of Orthopaedic Hand Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital
"Dr. Green has been our organization's CME consultant since obtaining our ACCME accreditation in 1998. He has guided us from a facility struggling to break away from an outdated CME model to one with vitality and energy, as demonstrated by our three exemplary ratings in 2000 and four exemplaries in 2004! When confronted with CME challenges or in discussions with colleagues, I feel tremendously confident when I respond that. 'I have taken the Joe Green Course in CME.' On a personal level, Joe has always been there for me, accessible on weekends, holidays and all hours of the day for 'CME emergencies' or moral support. He has truly inspired me to love my work and was a major influence in my decision to pursue my Ph.D. in Health Sciences."

"The great thing about working with Joe, is that he is not selling a pre-built process, product or set of documents that he developed. The true consultant, letting you find your own answers, while providing a road map."
Claudia Rosenberg, PhD, President, Curatio CME Institute, LLC
"Joe Green took the daunting experience of preparing for ACCME reaccreditation and made it a positive learning experience for all of us. Not only did we all feel more prepared for the review, but we came away enthusiastic about advancing our program following Joe's astute suggestions. Through his 'wearing multiple hats' approach, we were able to see our own program objectively from multiple perspectives. It was worth not only every penny spent, but every second of time spent as well."

"Joe Green is an educator who understands the surgical mentality and can successfully work with surgeons. Joe is one of those rare individuals who focus a group on the issues and get a result. His personality and work ethic endear him to all who meet and work with him."

"The facilitator with whom I had been working told me two weeks before the strategic planning retreat dates cancelled on me. CME planners understand crisis but this went beyond crisis. Sixty heavyweights in urology had changed their schedules, assisted in planning and were now coming to Baltimore for the first education strategic planning retreat in over 10 years. Everything was in place and ready. Superman to the rescue. And, was he good? He arrived like one who had been talking and planning with me for eight months, took the reins, cajoled and humored a group of unbelievers into strategic planners, supporters, and believers. There are few in the world of CME who could step into this situation and pull it off on nine days notice, and Joe Green accomplished it with flying colors. He knows his material, he understands the mission of CME, and he is good with motivating others. Anyone who can do this much in only a few days just imagine what he could have done with more time!"
Alice A. Henderson, M.S.Ed., Director of Education
American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.
"Dr. Green's involvement with our CME program goes back to its inception. Over the years, he has provided invaluable guidance and support. Joe has a wonderful ability to ground educational theory with practical application in a solid, understandable and easy to implement fashion. With Joe's expert guidance, we sailed through our last re-accreditation survey."
Winnie E. Brown, MPA

"Joe brings a fresh action-oriented approach to the way that medical education should be used to improve performance and outcomes in health care. He effectively applied performance improvement strategies to the educational mission of the Duke Hospital's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee."
John M. Kessler, Pharm.D., B.C.P.S.
Co-Founder & Chief Clinical Officer, SecondStory Health, LLC
"I have immensely enjoyed working with Joe Green. His ability to teach is at a very high level. The Latin roots of the word doctor mean to teach, and Joe is truly a renowned teacher. After we have completed teaching at a seminar, to have Joe evaluate us is an enlightening experience. He can help us with our educational experiences from all sides - curriculum, objectives, evaluations and growth potential. It has been a learning experience working with Joe, and I have learned to truly become one because of him."
Rick Buckley, M.D., Orthopaedic Surgeon
University of Calgary
"Our CE Day with Joe Green was a resounding success. I never heard so many unsolicited compliments about an educational activity. Our staff commented that Joe was able to provide us with not only the most current and applicable information, but also how the industry has been responding--that type of insight is very valuable."
Deborah Correnti, RN
Vice President, Academy for Healthcare Education
When we requested Joe's services our staff members were entirely new to CME having a combined experience level of seven months. We were preparing for our self-study and an upcoming ACCME survey. By applying his wealth of knowledge and 30 years of CME experience Joe provided the staff an excellent course in CME basics. He helped define and prioritze the strategic issues facing our program. The core functions of a well organized CME program supported by mission and outcome measures were thoroughly outlined. We are much further along the road to a sound program than we would have been without his assistance.
