Session Description

This session serves as Part 2 of the ‘What Makes a Legend’ series, offering the history and legacy of our profession – not just the history you read in a textbook but the stories of the leaders who have shaped and transformed the TR profession. Using the questions participants developed in Part One, we will hear from a panel of legends and learn about their journey, contributions, motivations, and perspectives about the TR field. While this session builds on Part 1, participants do not have to attend both sessions.

Learning Outcomes

1. Summarize at least one significant historical event within TR
2. Paraphrase at least one story from a significant individual within TR
3. Describe the significance of at least one historical event to the current state of the profession
