Why I Built Woo U

For more than 15 years, I’ve built my career around one rule: do what’s best for the patient. Education is how that rule reaches further.

But good CE was harder to get than it should be: expensive registrations, travel, and days away from the practice. So I built the CE I’d want as an attendee: the best faculty, simple registration, a virtual option, and credit you can count on.

Nearly 400 events and more than 250,000 certificates later, that’s still the promise behind every Woo U course.
