Testimonials
“Dr. Nijm has extensive experience with teaching negotiation, an essential skill for physicians, but a topic that is not generally taught to us. I encourage all physicians, especially women and those in training, to take advantage of this resource created by an expert negotiator. I have definitely learned strategies for successful negotiation from Dr. Nijm.”

“As a residency program director at Wilmer, I highly recommend Lisa Nijm's course on contract negotiations for residents of all years!
