Terms & Conditions

Mission Statement 

The mission of Provider Practice Essentials, Inc, is to provide educational resources and other services necessary to further the delivery of healthcare by providers (Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and CRNAs) to patients in any healthcare setting. 

Business Model 

Provider Practice Essentials, Inc. (PPEMedical.com, hereforth known as “Corporation” or “Company”) is a Florida-based medical education corporation. The Corporation, at its discretion, directly subcontracts members of its Planning Committee, Teaching Faculty, Educational Services Division, and other key organizational components to provide educational activities that satisfy state, federal, and clinical board requirements for it’s customers and members. 

Purpose of Program and Identification of Need 

It has been recognized by many recent graduates from both Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant programs that there is a perceived paucity of hands-on training related to EKG interpretation, plain radiograph interpretation, and basic procedures during both the didactic and clinical rotation components of training programs. This has been especially noted by graduates who have earned online degrees due to a limited amount of clinical exposure organized by their training programs. Certain online programs lack a uniform clinical experience, standard clinical environment that ensures all recommended procedures are experienced, and often leave graduates seeking more exposure to the procedures and clinical skills aligned with the career paths they have chosen. 

It has also been noted that these limitations hinder the ability of new graduates to find clinical positions in high acuity/high procedure environments because they do not have minimum experience, which is typically expected to be 2 years post-graduation. This Company is built to close this gap by presenting high-yield content to these providers in an effort to provide clinical confidence without resorting to on-the-job learning. It is intended to structure the course content into a rational format to facilitate the application of clinical content to real world practice. 

The intent of the programs provided by the Company is to provide additional training to participants to augment their clinical education and improve confidence in clinical decision-making, procedural skill, documentation and coding. It is further intended to provide a certification pathway to validate the understanding of course material based on successful completion of the courses and demonstrated mastery of their material. Participants who successfully complete courses will receive a certificate of completion and continuing education credits, and may opt to take a certification examination, administered by the Company, to further document their skills mastery. 

Those participants who choose to pursue certification from our program are required to score a combined 80% on a written and practical examination composed, reviewed, and tested by our faculty. Further validation of our examination is based on test market sampling and adjusted cumulative scores with statistical analysis to a true mean. Exam questions are clinically-based, similar in content to approved national board format, and directly related to areas that are perceived to be weaknesses to this provider population. The Planning Committee and Faculty is composed of board certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, each whom have both clinical and administrative experience with the hiring, interviewing, and retention process, as well as the compliance and billing expertise required in today’s medical environment.  Active clinical practice is a core requirement of all faculty members of the Company. 

Providers who earn certification will receive a letter of reference from our medical director, course director, or faculty physician as applicable by program. It is our hope that those who choose to certify with our program will use this supporting documentation to gain employment in the field of their choice, and that it will be accepted as additional verification of their clinical competency. 

Live Program Design and Intent

Live programs incorporate multiple formats such as lectures, video, handouts, simulation, and hands-on education to bolster their respective professional education. The primary focus of our courses is to supplement education and provide confidence with skills identified as areas of weakness for providers who are newly out of training, transitioning from one medical specialty to another, or wish to enhance their current practice with currently accepted medical care and clinical guidelines. There will be an additional focus to maximize compliance with federally mandated quality measures related to course content.  The Corporation’s obligation to provide support to the Customer in relation to program logistics, planning, service delivery, or service recovery will end immediately upon termination of the live program, based on the published dates and times of the program that participant has agreed to attend.

Online Program Design and Intent

Online programs may be purchased by themselves or in any combination with other Live or Online programs.  They share the same content objectives and intent as Live programs and are available for immediate access at the time of purchase.  There may be a short delay activating use access to content due to website downtime or other factors beyond the control of the Company.  All Live and Online Content (including certification examinations, CME post-course surveys, and specific course-related materials) will be available online for no more than 1 year from the original date of purchase of a Live or Online course or program, unless otherwise specified in the specific product description provided online at the time of purchase.  The Corporation may change these specifications at their discretion, and any changes will be visible on the Company website.

Program Audience 

This course is designed for Physician Assistants, Physicians and Nurse Practitioners who plan to practice in a hospital-based, primary care, urgent care, or emergency department setting. It is also open to providers from all other specialties who wish to maintain their skills or learn additional skills to enhance their practice. It is designed for a wide spectrum of providers ranging from those who do not have immediate life-saving capabilities on hand to those who work in trauma centers. It is intended to serve as a reinforcement of skills to identify patients who may have lethal emergencies and reinforce optimal management strategies for this patients. 

Core Program Faculty 

Our Programs are designed, planned, and taught by a committee that incudes at the minimum one Physician, one Physician Assistant, and one Nurse Practitioner, each certified by their respective certification boards.  Academic experience is required, and all committee members must participate in a thorough orientation process to demonstrate mastery of the topics being taught. 

The Corporation is structured in such a way to expand course material and content to reach a wide variety of clinical audiences, and also expand staff to focus on individual markets for course delivery. 

Learning Objectives of Course Components 

The learning objective for all courses are created to provide a structured supplemental skills training program that will allow the participant to broaden their basic clinical knowledge base, and also provide prospective employers, supervisors, and, when applicable, hospital credentialers documentation of student mastery of this material in the form of a certification that will be earned by passing an examination at the end of the program. All participants will receive credit for completing the course, but only those who demonstrate mastery of the material will receive certification. 

Certification will not coincide with any known licensing board, academic program, university or affiliate, or accredited training program, but will provide verification of content understanding for those who achieve this distinction. Certified providers will also receive a signed letter of verification from the supervising physician teaching their course that will serve to accompany their credentialing file.

Live Courses will vary in length based on the amount of content and topics being delivered. They will vary in hands-on content and duration based on their composition.  The duration of programs will vary by participant size and content. Participants of Live and Online programs will have immediate online access to the course content, learning materials, objectives, and relevant materials specific to the program they are participating in. 

Medical Specialty Courses 

The Corporation will offer a variety of focused training and board review courses for participants wishing to apply credits earned towards certification within their individual certification boards. Provider Practice Essentials will maintain continued medical education accreditation through an appropriate organization that will allow their credits to be applied toward these requirements. The company does not create, or imply any ownership of these third party continuing education credits.  The participant acknowledges that participant application of earned credits toward certification requirements will be at the ultimate discretion of the board and/or certification body certifying the participant’s credits, and will hold the Corporation and its subsidiaries harmless from claims resulting in fewer credits than anticipated being applied toward certification. Participants are encouraged and recommended to contact their certification boards and other agencies to confirm that their requirements will be met by their participation with our programs. 

Board Review Courses 

The Corporation will utilize any information available to design and create focused board review and professional development materials. New speciality certifications or those that have changed their requirements will have very limited information regarding their material. The Corporation will provide numerous resources in the form of live lectures, online multimedia review, test questions, and resources aimed at providing a well-rounded review approach to commonly tested material found in board certification examination requirements. The Company does not warranty itself as having inside information or unique details that give them an academic edge for board examination preparation or content. Participants of Live or Online board review series and professional development series understand that the material presented in products created by the Corporation may differ from actual examination requirements and content provided by their respective agencies.  

Participants acknowledge that academic learning and application of clinical concepts is an individualized process, and that providing a platform for the learning of material does not inherently guarantee mastery of skills or transference of the knowledge base necessary to successfully pass a written or practical board exam. Participant further acknowledges that board review and professional development materials are little more than a tool to focus on learning objectives in an organized fashion, and in no way represent the actual experience of board certification examination. Participant understands and agrees that individual mastery and understanding will ultimately be their responsibility, and may be limited to factors beyond those that the Corporation can possibly provide.

The participant agrees to hold the Corporation and/or its collaborators or subsidiaries harmless from any failure to successfully pass a qualifying examination, or obtain a necessary certification. 

Medium used for Programs 

Given the diversity of both didactic and hands-on procedural training methods in our program, a combination of printed, web-based, computer-based, video, audio, and mannequin-supported simulation media will be used, where appropriate, to deliver the intended training content. In addition, authentic medical supplies will be used for all portions of the procedure education. Participants may be given an additional resource kit for their own practice as part of the course.  Participants acknowledge and understand that while simulators are designed to facilitate learning, they are not without their own limitations and may or many not accurately replicate the performance of medical care delivery to live humans.

Live Human Models 

Whenever necessary, live human models may be used to assist with education. Their application may include Ultrasound, anatomy, and other relevant hands-on exposure to students who take our programs. Prior to being approved as a live model, all models must review and agree to a waiver holding the Company, it’s facilitators, and it’s attendees harmless from missed diagnosis. Human models have all agreed that the Company in no way, shape, or form, will provide medical advice to them. All models also understand and have agreed to visit their personal physician for any medical questions, and that participation in our programs in no way whatsoever creates, enforces, defines, or remotely suggests that a clinician-patient relationship exists. 

Evaluation Process 

At the end of the course, each participant will complete a post-course survey, either in written or electronic format, to comment and give feedback on key components of the program and its faculty. These surveys are required by the accreditation body awarding the credits, and have been approved by those organizations for the Corporation to deliver.  The Corporation cannot award continuing education credits without completion of the post-course survey.

Commercial Involvement 

All components of this Program are free of commercial control influence. To that end, there are no preferred brands, trademarks, affiliations, or other entities that have been or will be given ac- cess to any aspect of this program, not limited to the identification of CME needs, determination of education objectives, selection and presentation of content, selection of all individuals of and organizations that will be in a position to control the content of the CME, selection of educational methods, and evaluation of the activity.

Venue Selection 

Educational activities that occur in a hotel or other privately owned building are scheduled in advance and contracted between the venue and The Corporation. This contracting process does not create or imply that any form of commercial support from the venue to The Corporation exists. Contracts are negotiated for venue as part of usual business to secure a training location, and are not tied to the type of education. Any additional venue services (reduced hotel rates, meals, discounts, etc.) are the result of the negotiated and contracted event service between The Corporation and the venue, and are independent of any CME activity. Such services are not intended to imply that any preferred vendor relationship, commercial influence, or commercially driven educational content exists. 

Room Reservation and Hotel Booking Policy 

Hotel accommodations may be booked directly between the Hotel hosting our events and the Participant attending the event. Participants may email or call the hotel directly to arrange room reservations. The Company does not make any guarantee regarding room availability, and has asked hotels to notify them when rooms or specific room types are not available. The Company assumes no liability for unavailable or lost room reservations, and deems hotel and lodging arrangements to be between the Participant and the Hotel, and not related to the event it is providing.  The Participant agrees to hold The Corporation harmless from damages resulting from their failure to secure a room reservation, including lost airfare, travel costs, higher room costs at other hotels, lost course registration charges, and any and all other costs alleged to be incurred as a result of unavailable or lost room reservations. 

The Participant agrees that all room reservations are their responsibility to confirm, maintain, and verify, and that the Company may provide a service to assist them with making reservation(s). The Participant understands that the Corporation is not responsible for any rooms booked by the customer outside the sale of the educational event. 

Rescheduling Policy 

The Customer understands that by reserving a seat in one of the company’s programs, they are assuming liability for changes that may effect course profitability, either directly or indirectly. The Customer further understands that the costs incurred by the corporation to hold a single event may include faculty time, contracted food and beverage minimum fees, minimum room rental blocks, and other expenses that are budgeted, in advance, before the course date – often times months in advance. 

The Customer understands that rescheduling of their reservation (makeup course) may subject the corporation to lost deposits, fees, and penalties charged by hotels and/or venues, which may not be recoverable at certain venues. 

For these reasons, ALL REQUESTS TO RESCHEDULE ATTENDANCE FROM A PREVIOUSLY RESERVED EVENT WILL REQUIRE A $250.00 RESCHEDULING FEE. THIS INCLUDES ADDITIONAL EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY RESCHEDULED AND ARE REQUESTED TO BE RESCHEDULED AGAIN. 

In addition, ANY PREPAYMENTS FOR HOTEL COSTS MADE TO THE CORPORATION BY THE PARTICIPANT OR THEIR AGENT WILL BE NON-RE- FUNDABLE. 

The Customer understands that a repeat payment for hotel fees made with the Corporation will be required if overnight lodging is requested, and will be determined by the company’s advertised rate at the time of registration. 

The Corporation reserves the right to reschedule courses and participants based on attendance and profitability, unexpected conditions, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or other unforeseeable events that are detrimental to the operational safety of the scheduled program. In the event such cancellation is necessary, Customers will be rescheduled for the next available program at their convenience. 

A maximum of 1 schedule change is permitted per customer unless approved by the Corporation. 

All rescheduling changes must occur within one calendar year from the original date reserved and may not be permitted based on occupancy of the replacement date requested. This will be at the sole discretion of the Company. 

The Customer understands and agrees that ALL FEES PAID TO ATTEND A PROGRAM MAY BE NON-REFUNDABLE IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE PROGRAM FOR WHICH THEY ARE REGISTERED.

ALL ONLINE CONTENT PURCHASES (INCLUDING MEMBERSHIPS, REVIEW PROGRAMS, LECTURES, OR OTHER ITEMS PURCHASED THROUGH THE COMPANY WEBSITE OR ITS REFERRAL SOURCES, AND NOT DESIGNATED AS LIVE EVENTS) ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. ALL SALES ARE FINAL FOR THESE PRODUCTS. 

The Customer acknowledges that this refund policy exists for the protection of the Company and its contracted relationships with the venues where it holds events. The customer further understands that the language used herein and acknowledgment and acceptance of these terms and conditions is binding and will serve as rebuttal in the event of a dispute or review of charges. 

In the event that a customer’s charge or purchase is disputed by the Customer, reviewed by the appropriate process dictated by the customer’s crediting/payment authorization agency, and decided in favor of the Company, the customer agrees to pay the Company $500.00 for time spent defending their dispute if the findings are found to be in agreement with these terms and conditions. 

The customer further agrees to exhaust all attempts to contact the Company (by email, text message, written letter) prior to disputing charges through their credit/debit card agency. 

Subscription and Online Membership Terms and Conditions 

The Purchase of a Website Membership includes a one-time registration fee and an initial annually recurring subscription fee. All purchases include a free first year of website membership. Unless cancellation is requested specifically in writing, or by electronic cancellation through our website after the user has logged in, there will be an annually recurring subscription installment charge, which will be charged on the anniversary of the initial purchase date. The charge will be made to the card on file with the Customer.  The Customer permits the company to make these annually recurring installment charges and acknowledges that AGREEMENT WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SERVE AS AUTHORIZATION FOR RECURRENT INSTALLMENT CHARGES FROM THE COMPANY ON THE CARD USED FOR INITIAL PURCHASE. ALL SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. In the event that an annual subscription renewal charge is declined, the Company may terminate the customer’s membership immediately. The Customer further gives consent to the Company to utilize third party charging and billing services to routinely update credit/charge card information provided by the Customer and modify information based on card expiration dates, replacement cards, and other changes to the Customer’s payment sources reported to these third parties. Provider Practice Essentials, LLC does not store or retain any customer payment information on their website. 

Online Programs designated as “Lifetime” or “Forever” or “All Access” or any implied derivation thereof may not require annual subscription charges.  These enduring programs will be dependent solely upon the lifetime of the Corporation, and will expire immediately in the event the Corporation ceases to operate, files for bankruptcy, or effectively changes their business model or operations in a fashion that does not support continued lifetime access.  Customers will not be entitled to a refund of their enrollment fees into such programs.

Cancellation Policy 

The Company reserves the right to cancel any live programs at their sole discretion. Further, it is understood by all parties that the Corporation will be held harmless for cancellations related to weather disruptions, emergencies, epidemics, pandemics, mandatory or suggested government quarantines, evacuations, force majure, acts of God, war, or other reasons stipulated by the venues contracted by corporation as a result of their cancellation and inability to host this program. The Corporation reserves the right to enforce the refund policy above, and may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Events canceled by the corporation will not be entitled to refund unless the Customer is unable to reschedule for a similar program within 12 calendar months of the date of the originally scheduled program. 

Social Media Policy 

The Corporation will use social media as a platform to advertise, enroll, recruit, and network with businesses, clients, facilities, certification boards, colleges, universities, and other entities that it deems fit for the usual operation of its business practice. It is understood that such a platform permits two-way and third party discussion in the form of posts, threads, satisfaction feedback, and reviews. The Company reserves the right, within the boundaries and contractual obligations of the social media platform that it uses, to remove reviews, posts, comments, pictures, or any other content that it deems as inappropriate, inaccurate, slanderous, derogatory, or otherwise harmful to its usual business operations. Further, the Corporation reserves the right to pursue legal enforcement and protection of its business entity in accordance with any local or federal statues preserving the rights of free trade, business protection, personal protection, or other statues as deemed appropriate for enforcement by its members. 

Notification of Allergy-Sensitive Materials 

In an effort to maintain availability of materials, remain competitive as a education program, and provide the most current and advanced materials for the attendee education experience, it is impossible for us to provide a latex-free environment. If an attendee has a latex allergy, or is sensitive to latex products, it is their responsibility to consider that they will be in a room that contains, and is in close proximity to latex- based simulation mannequins, hands-on suture material/simulators, and additional medical equipment that may contain latex. If a participant is concerned that they have a severe latex allergy that may become a life-threatening condition, it is their responsibility to consider their personal safety to attend our live courses and determine if they are safe to attend. The Company will not assume any liability for any injury that a participant will incur should they choose to take this course with a known allergic condition.
