Why Patients Consistently Choose Lukin The Lukin Difference In order to bring the highest quality, evidence-based services to our clients, we truly live by the power of life-long learning. Therefore, we have started many initiatives that put continuing education and training at the forefront of being part of the Lukin community. All our clinicians have weekly opportunities to consult with other highly trained LC providers in specialized peer consultation groups. Lukin Center also supports all our clinicians in pursuing training and specialized certifications outside of the practice and every Tuesday morning, all Lukin Center staff has access to internal or external training opportunities.
