Individual Attention in an Interactive Setting

We want you to ask questions!  We want you to engage!  Everybody learns differently and it is our goal to tap into your inner expert and make you shine.  Whether it’s FINALLY clearing up a question you haven’t understood for years, or guiding your hand to master a procedural skill, it is our mission to make you succeed!

Dedicated and focused instruction in a small group format

We don’t go above 30 students, and we staff to a 6:1 ratio for the Skills and Procedure Workshop. Our staff auditions, orients, and also goes through extensive training to give you the best experience possible.

Well timed didactic sessions, frequent breaks, coffee, beverages, and lunch

Our fast pace will keep you engaged, interested, and also keep your mind active.

Approachable Faculty who are able to answer your questions personally
