Format

This offering is designed so that each participant will have individualized attention. The course is unique in that the primary instructor, David Doernbach, recognizes that adult learners should be treated with respect and compassion so learning can be maximized. The schedule is spread over three days so learning can take place in a relaxed, tension-free atmosphere. Classes begin each day at 8 AM and conclude at 4:30 or 5:00 PM on Day One and 5:00 PM on Day Two. A basic course in ECG interpretation is encouraged, but not required, as remedial instruction is not possible during the allotted time frame.
