Course Reviews
The MHD Sedation course is excellent. The instructors are not only extremely knowledgeable in sedation, but they are very good teachers as well. The course provides the most clinical experience of any sedation courses out there as we participated in far more than the required number of cases, and we did this over weeks instead of days. This allowed for better retention of core concepts and enabled the new skill set to be absorbed over time. I actually learned the concepts instead of just memorizing them. Upon completion of the course I feel comfortable in providing safe sedation to the patients that need this invaluable treatment.
Dr. Earle and David Sullivan did a fantastic job teaching the material in a digestible way but also how to implement. The course was taught at the correct pace and allowed time to digest the material and implement it. I feel like iv sedation has been demystified to a large extent and feel comfortable offering this service to my healthy patients. I feel I know which patients are safe and which patients are not and that I believe is key to running iv moderate sedations in the office.
Dr. David Sullivan and Dr. Earle Sullivan are awesome instructors for IV Moderate Sedation. They are very knowledgeable, provide a very positive learning environment, and will help you in gaining confidence in IV Sedation. The course may be longer than others, but I felt great with the pacing. This is probably the best bang for your buck IV sedation course approved by the North Carolina State Board. I am honored to be the first alumni. Highly recommend!
A wonderful course from start to finish. Very well organized and paced as to not feel overwhelmed while continuing day to day life. I really was unaware how little I knew of sedation before starting this course. This will help me to keep my skills fresh and to continue learning more and more about sedation. At the end I feel very comfortable treating a wide variety of patients and patient health concerns.
