We are crazy passionate about what we do. Best Practice Medicine instructors include current and former critical care helicopter team nurses and paramedics, emergency room physicians, ski patrollers, firefighters, ER nurses, former NOLS instructors, and a former Air Force Pararescue Paramedic assistant program director-Instructor.
You will spend over 150 hours in the classroom and online including 10 hours in the Emergency Room for patient observation.
This course is INTENSE and moves very quickly!
It requires MATURITY, DEDICATION, and plenty of extra STUDY time.
We suggest that for every classroom hour you attend you must commit to an additional hour of outside study.
