Read what some of our past attendees have to say about our medical seminars.



"To the NPI Director:

"Exceptional course. Syllabus excellent. Level of subject matter perfect. Instrument display very good for hands on. Knowledgable, interactive, great at keeping audience attention. Slides are phenomenal, just the right amount of material per slide. Motivating; I think the personal anecdotes and pearls were just as important as the course material. You are an excellent public speaker. You appear accessible and friendly, which promotes audience interaction and doesn't intimidate people from asking questions. The course was very well organized to provide all levels of training with invaluable information. I think every residency should provide this to their residents. Not only did I learn but I do feel more motivated and confident to be more procedure-oriented, and encourage the residents to try these techniques."

"The enthusiasm of NPI instructors transforms a group of apprehensive primary providers into healers of courage. I will definitely thrive through the implementation of these techniques. I will certainly recommend these courses to other primary practitioners."
- Giridhar Kamath, D.O., Atlanta, GA - May 2006

 

Aesthetic Procedures CME Medical Conference
"The absolutely best organized, most detailed, and best taught course I have ever taken in anything! Dr. Fox is fantastic. I have taken previous aesthetic courses but this is far better. Dr. Fox has a masterful command of the material AND he taught it well (these two factors are not usually in sync). I can't say enough about the excellent Dr. Fox. Even without actually practicing the procedures, he did such an excellent job of presentation that I feel more comfortable doing the procedures that I did after a similar course that allowed practice time."
- Rambod Rouhbakhsh, M.D., Laurel, MS - October 2006

"Speaker clearly understands what we need to get started. Safety was stressed without frightening the audience. I got my money's worth. Thank you, Dr. Fox."
- Valorie Robertson, M.D., Bulvedere, TX - December 2006

"Dr. Page was extremely intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable and generous. The information and techniques will be immediately helpful! Thanks, Gary!"

- James McNabb, M.D., Mooresville, NC - July 2006

"I feel Dr. Hedges was great! We have learned a lot. I love the fact that even though the class is over, they still allow access to information from their website. Email addresses were given to the class for questions that might come up later. Dr. Hedges and Kathy were willing to answer all qeustions. Demonstrations were very informative."
- Loretta Worsham, M.A., New Caney, TX - December 2006

- Jessica Roberts, M.D., San Ramon, CA - September 2006

"I have been doing colonoscopies for six years. This course gives me increased confidence that I am up-to-date on this procedure. Touches on problem areas that we encounter in real-life practice. The speaker's knowledge, effort and availability a strong point."
- William Childers, M.D., Laurens, SC - September 2006

Dermatologic Procedures CME Medical Conference
"Dr. Pfenninger, I truly appreciate your outstanding teaching of this fantastic course which I suspect will dramatically increase my skill and diagnostic acumen. I think it is fair to say this is the best CME I have attended anywhere, ever!"
- Michael Klein, M.D., Providence, RI - March 2007

"Dr. Pfenninger, I wanted to let you know that these two days of CME were the best I have ever taken. I have used your book whenever I had a problem with a procedure in the past. My Attending always said that medicine is an art not just science, thus it cannot be put into software or a robot cannot do it; for example no book teaches us 40mg of IV lasix is equivalent to 80mg of po lasix. By taking your course I have not only learned new procedures but also learned the art of medicine which I obtained by listening to your good and bad experiences."
- Rajani Mallick, M.D., Clare, MI -August 2007

"Dr. Pfenninger, Million thanks for the course. You are an amazing teacher-the best combination of experience, knowledge, passion, humor and stamina. I look forward to seeing you at other courses. Thanks for the photos as well. I will use the architectural principals to put patients first in the future."
- Benton Giap, M.D., East Lansing, MI - August 2007

"Really a good speaker; good rapport with audience. Easy, informal manner, open to on-the-spot questions, likes his material and comfortable with it. Nice to get a good program from one of our Family Physician colleagues."
- Harvey Frank, M.D., Scandia, MN - December 2006

"Probably the best course I have attended in 10 years. Fantastic, charismatic speaker. Highly recommended to each and every FP - we should be doing all this stuff."
- Gregory Gibson, M.D., Boiling Springs, SC - September 2006

"Thank you for getting our residents and faculty so excited about doing more office procedures. It makes it a lot more fun for us attendings!"
- David McInnes, M.D., Jacksonville, FL - February 2007

Echocardiography CME Medical Conference
"An engaging, enthusiastic educator, Mr. Reynolds effortlessly made what seems a formidable technology accessible, thus giving each student a rare opportunity, to leave a 2-day workshop with both practical knowledge and understanding of the basics of echocardiography. Thank you Terry Reynolds and NPI."
- Anonymous, November 2006

"Mr. Reynolds is an excellent teacher, great person and wonderful human being. Very clear, focused and patient with students. He is a gifted, talented, humble person. I do not have words to praise him. This is my first experience with learning with such an excellent teacher."
- Shahid Farooqui, M.D., Marlboro, NJ - November 2006

ECG Interpretation CME Medical Conference
"A strong point was the very logical systemic approach presented, and the repitition of that process on sample tracings to reinforce the approach until is was second nature. Speaker was very good and made it easy to pay attention. Picked up lots of good pearls."
- Julian Loden, M.D., Belden, MS - October 2006

EGD CME Medical Conference
"Very approachable and answered questions appropriately. His teaching style was excellent."

- Kshamata Shalini, M.D, Shawano, WI - November 2006

"The most incredible NPI course that I have ever attended. The practical pointers and tips I obtained made the price of this course worth every penny. Fantastic models and skill labs too. Dr. Savage is the best teacher I have ever had."
- Barbara Tuley, M.D., Ada, OK - March 2007

- Daniel R. Gilbert, D.O., Paris, IL - June 2004

Hospitalist Procedures CME Medical Conference
"Fantastic and engaging speaker. Incredibly patient. This course is unique as I searched the internet and journals to find only this comprehensive procedural training course. The course content was helpful for a variety of physicians ranging from ER physicians, academic hospitalists, community hospitalists and primary care physicians. Dr. Esherick was a fantastic and engaging lecturer. They did an excellent job balancing didactic lectures, hands on labs and videos. I feel very confident after leaving this lecture series in performing most procedures, including intubations, paracentesis, thoracentesis, central lines, arterial lines, chest tubes and lumbar punctures."
- Sally Wang, M.D., Brookline, MA - September 2006

"Awesome course! Loved it. This course definitely gives you the knowledge to do procedures with full awareness of contraindications, steps in order and how to bill effectively for them. Much better than the "see one, do one, teach one" method which we all learned from."
- James Inman, M.D., Saginaw, MI - October 2006

Hot Topics in Procedures I CME Medical Conference
"Dr. Amundsen is very practical and provides a practice-oriented approach to procedures. I always liked simple office-based procedures, but got away from doing them for various reasons. He has revived my desire for doing procedures, providing me with great skills andn confidence at the same time."
