Feedback from attendees regarding intern participation was positive.  Interns reports several attendees reminded them there are jobs in long term care in Maryland and to consider that as they get ready to graduate.  The interns combined their raffle tickets as one large team and won a prize.
The interns had a great day of learning lots of new information on long term care, enjoyed great food, and had a great time!
