Testimonials from prior course evaluations:

“I really enjoyed both days.  The lectures were targeted and well-delivered.  Additionally, the simulation cases were excellent and gave me some great ideas to bring back to my institution!”

“An excellent blend of fundamentals and advanced cardiac critical care topics, and wonderful job of using the sims to build on the didactic content.  Some of the sim scenarios were quite challenging, but I liked the rotation of the simulation leads so there were opportunities for everyone to learn and participate in a variety of ways.”

“I loved all the information presented. I felt like the didactic portion covered a lot of material.  The simulations felt realistic and the debriefs were so helpful. I also appreciated getting to know other attendees in the group from other institutions. It is interesting to hear how others practice. The instructors were all very helpful and always willing to explain their rationale. It was a great course!”

“The thing I liked most is that the course is interdisciplinary, we were all able to learn together and learn from one another, and as a nurse I felt like an equal member of the team.”
