Our educational programs are taught by experienced critical care clinicians and include cutting edge research and practice implementation. Advanced patient simulation equipment and veteran instructors make our training center stand out!
Customized training can be done on-site at your location, domestically or internationally! Training initiatives are customized for clients, and may include basic CPR provision and AED use, first aid applications, pre-hospital education, American Heart Association courses, advanced physician-level instruction, nursing courses, and continuing medical education (CME). We have taught classes for a wide variety of clients including various Emergency Departments and other critical care specialties in the DC Metro Area, US governmental institutions and military bodies, private healthcare practices, non-healthcare related private businesses, large and small non-profits, and various international governmental bodies and military offices.
In addition to medical training and education, we also offer the GW Lifesavers Program! GW Lifesavers is a community based initiative which aims to place more Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in the community and other publicly accessible areas. We provide various models of AED, skilled medical direction for owners of the AED, and assistance and oversight for the AED’s, as well as the requisite equipment.
We also work in conjunction with GW MFA’s Worldwide Communications Center, Maritime Medical Access Program, Innovative Practice Department, and the KBOSSS and QBOSS Programs providing medical education and training!
