They will also work on tasks set them by mental trainers working for MedEx aimed at team-building and other self-analysis tests that, at first glance might seem not to have much influence on their work on track.Next on the agenda. After the Livorno camp ends tomorrow, the students will attempt a “war path” during which they can put into practice much of what they learned during the week of training.
