Testimonials

     

 The staff at Advanced Practice Skills Workshop were amazing, extremely professional, and knowledgeable! The suture training was very informative and the hands on training truly helped the providers feel more confident with suturing. The trainers tailored the training to our unique healthcare setting and gave great case scenarios. I would most definitely recommend this group and I look forward to future trainings they may offer. Thank you APSW!

 I’m so pleased that I was able to attended the 2 day skill workshop. The hands on, in person training was just what I needed to enhance my procedure and pain management skills. The instructors were excellent at providing both group instruction and individual coaching. Both instructors are practicing nurse practitioners well versed in the content presented. I left feeling confident that I will be able to apply the skills I learned to my practice.

 The skills workshop in Chicago was great! Both of these ladies were very knowledgeable and personable. I currently own a small private practice and being able to offer injections and sutures will help build the practice. I chose this skills workshop because it is personable, fun, interactive and budget friendly. They even reviewed coding for each procedure and insurance company tips! I can't wait to poke a knee !

 I’ve learned and gained so much knowledge and skills from the class. It’s one on one and the instructors showed superior expertise during the training. Which increases my confidence in applying those learned skills to my current practice. The instructors were generous with the information they imparted during the entire class. I think it’s one of the best CE’s I’ve ever attended!
