what people are saying

“The cadaver lab Holly and Dan put on is some of the best hands on medical training that I've had an opportunity to attend. Their breadth of knowledge in the pre-hospital and clinical environment adds significant depth to the quality of training and makes the training scalable from the lay rescuer to the skilled clinician. They do not take for granted the incredible gift of donated tissue and ensure that anyone who attends their lab gains invaluable life saving skills. Those who make the selfless donation should know countless lives will be saved. This training challenges both physically and mentally as they force you to think through problems in the entire continuum of care. "
