This course has forever changed my approach to airway management. It was amazing to see how fast the field of airway research had evolved since residency. Now I know why my colleagues say this course is the top way to learn difficult airway management!
So happy the course happened live! Even with COVID precautions the hands-on sessions were great and faculty was so helpful!
I had taken this course several years ago. It was excellent! I just completed the course again in March in San Diego. It was even better. It is the most comprehensive course on airway I have ever taken, it is well presented and the teaching labs are superb. I would recommend this course to any ED or EMS physician.
Best prepared course I have ever attended. I strongly believe it should be a requirement for all physicians involved in emergency care.
Excellent. I will now be able to anticipate intubations rather than fear that one may be needed during any shifts at the ER.
Superlative faculty and cutting-edge information. Thank you!
