I had an excellent experience at the HPC live course! The amount of one on one practice and time I received was perfect to really learn the important aspects of Ultrasound. The environment was friendly but also objective driven and was well organized. I left feeling comfortable in knowing the steps and equipment for all the procedures and with tricks of the trade. 10/10 would recommend to any physician who wants to be ahead of their peers in procedures.

Ahmed Memon, MD - Fort Worth, Texas

I did another procedure course last year. This was more useful because it assumed that there would be beginners or people not familiar with using the US and ensured that we all got a basic review of the relevant prerequisite information. I like that there was multiple stations that we could practice with, and without the instructors. It was good that the instructors roamed about so that they could assist when we were unable to troubleshoot issues ourselves.

Truly excellent course. High yield, innovative, and practice changing. As a certified instructor of other physician focuses courses, I am incredibly impressed. This is not “here’s how to follow an algorithm”, this is a thorough and efficient review of evidence and techniques taught by really experienced providers who are not afraid to share relevant experiences. This course is perfect for EM/FM/IM at low resource or CAH hospitals but would also be useful for hospitalists in larger systems who could use a procedural refresher. As someone who has considerable experience as a sole provider in CAHs, this experience was well worth every minute.

Joseph Cooper, MD

I came into the course a little nervous and burnt out and left feeling reinvigorated and confident not only in procedures I have done but many I was too intimidated to think about. This course teaches the basics and proper technique while also being intellectually stimulating. All the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, inclusive, and kind making participants of every background feel comfortable. As a PA working in the ER this course will change my practice significantly for the better.

This course was exactly what I needed as an ER doc practicing primarily in community hospitals, but also in some high-volume high-acuity ER’s, and as a part-time hospitalist. Great ultrasound teaching, excellent one-on-one instruction, and all instructors are incredibly approachable and kind. And they stay current with the ER/Critical Care literature. I can recommend this course without hesitation, especially for docs who may do some procedures only once a year or less. And the online video (CME accredited) teachings are outstanding!
These guys completely exceeded my expectations. I want an annual subscription!

The HPC “ live” course, with on line series is, by far, the BEST course I’ve ever taken to refresh my skills with central lines and airways. The teaching staff is dedicated and polite to physicians at ALL levels of expertise.

I would provide my strongest recommendation for this course to refresh your skills and provide confidence levels in your professional environment.

The commitment and education provided by this group is exceptional. Prior to starting with a critical care group and working as a Hospitalist, I found going to this course helped provide a strong foundation with my procedures. I would encourage anyone who needs a refresher or would like to get a foundation in procedures to take this course. Thank you

I wanted to write a note to thank you both (and the rest of the faculty) for an excellent course earlier this month. I feel the hands on teaching, excellent sim models, good quality applicable case studies, and direct feedback made for a wonderful learning opportunity. Since the course I have used what I learned a couple times already. I had more confidence in my choice of procedural sedation for a synchronized cardioversion for symptomatic tachycardia. I also felt more competent during an intubation for a patient with severe alcohol withdrawal prior to air transport to the ICU. Thanks again for an excellent educational opportunity!

Dylan Cole, D.O. - Moab, Utah

My HPC course was phenomenal. I attended the one-day version which was long and intense and full of valuable instruction. We had just the right amount of demonstration to get us started but then we jumped right into hands-on practice. It was great to be able to repeat procedures over and over until I got muscle memory. There were plenty of instructors and practice stations to stay busy. It was well worth the money.

Dr. Esherick and his staff are excellent teachers. Their knowledge on ultrasound guided procedures and diagnostic ultrasound imaging are second to none. They also provide a very good evidence base approach to the methods. There is a good amount of hands-on practice which is super valuable. The staff is also very personable and easy to talk with. I would definitely consider taking this course again in the future.

Alex Getz, Oklahoma

I had informed my agency that I was taking your course to expand my “tool belt” to which they responded, “education does not equal experience”. I agree, but I am also aware that without the education/training, no acute care facility will even consider me.
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe your instructors, and I want to highlight a few of them. I have struggled for years with ultrasound. ALL of your instructors made it easy, but the radiologist (forgive me, his name escapes me) gave me the “aha” moments. I now know what I am looking at/for. Caleb, Tyler, and I believe the other was Clint- were incredibly encouraging. They identified why I was struggling with certain maneuvers and gave positive feedback which would begin with something like, “You almost have it, but try this-“.
I made a post on LinkedIn about my experience and tagged your organization. I hope it will inspire others who are looking to enhance or refresh their skill set. One of my friends is the former chief of trauma surgery at a hospital here in Charleston, and a retired naval commander. I told him all about my experience. He told me education like I received was invaluable because I learned the best way as opposed to the haphazard “On the Job Training”.
Thank you for assembling such a fine group of individuals to help me achieve my goals.

I don’t know how to thank you for your time, patience and love for teaching!!! We can tell you guys do this from the heart, we had such a great learning experience. Thank you for teaching us the skills we need to become better physicians and provide better care to out patients. We walked out of there with so much confidence we are ready to conquer the world!!! We plan on talking to our program Director and recommend this become a part of the interns introductory week or community service week so they can learn the skills necessary for procedures!!! Keep doing what you’re doing and until next time !!!

Thanks for the continuing opportunity to use the skills I learned at HPC to teach the next generation of family doctors. I found a massive PE the ER had completely missed this year thanks to a cardiac ultrasound and sent the patient for thrombectomy and she is doing great.

This was one of the most effective and useful CME’s I have ever taken. I feel like it has given me a great deal of new information as well as significantly improved my procedural skills. I have strongly recommended it to all my co-workers. I feel much more confident in my skills and decision making as a result of this course.

Anonymous clinician

I took the one day Hospital Procedures Course on June 4 in Washington, DC. I thought it was excellent and couldn’t wait to use some of the things I’d learned. I worked my ICU shift at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring MD on June 6 and shortly after getting to work I had to put an A-line in a severely dehydrated 91 year old man. A-lines have been my nemesis and I was excited to see if the procedures I’d learned in the course would help. The patient had arteries the size of a pin but I was able to use the techniques I’d learned to successfully cannulate his radial artery in a relatively timely way. I was thrilled and it really boosted my confidence. Thanks for presenting such a great course. I’m excited to keep using these techniques and I know they will enhance my practice.

I attended the course in Las Vegas one week ago. Today I performed my first intubation and central line/ IJ placement. Both went very well: successful first attempts without complications. I felt very empowered by the training I had just had and I feel like I really knew what I was doing based on the course you taught me. So, thank you!
