This document will help explain what pair design is, how it works, and tour through the practicalities of implementing it in your practice.

I haven't experienced imposter syndrome, and maybe you haven't either An Article by Rach Smith rachsmith.com I have never felt like an “imposter”. I have always deserved to be here, I’ve worked hard.
