What EMTs, AEMTs and Paramedics think about us
Loved the knowledge of presenter and held my attention.
Holly did an EXCELLENT job of teaching this class. Great instructor, I hope to listen to her on another topic.
Great examples from personal experience and ability to elaborate on the topics.
Dan has always been a great instructor that keeps your attention and makes the class move by quickly with many great teachings.
This instructor was extremely involved, and interactive with the class. He was open to group comments and discussion. The instructor made this program better, and I personally will be trying to partake in courses on the days that he is teaching.
I think this is my fourth renewal with DistanceCME. I think this is the best it has gone so far.
I really like the new platform. Very user friendly!
Best presenter so far in the lectures I have attended. Very easy to understand, logical approach, keeps students engaged.
The new classroom tech from the last time I took a class 2 years ago has really made the whole experience so much smoother.
