Thank you so much for developing this course. It is comprehensive and a must learn, not only for EMS providers but for lay responders who doesn't have any medical background.
por SH21 de jul. de 2020
Course videos and lecture content are excellent. There are some training materials missing which I subsidized from the broader internet.
por TP21 de abr. de 2021
I took this course as a refresher. As a Navy Corpsman I was a certified EMT and really wanted to maintain this skill set. So i used this as a refresher before my NRT. It was exactly what I needed.
