Read MoreI am really glad I stumbled upon this course. As a first responder of over two-decades and someone now going into the field of psychology, I am definitely interested in some of the "other" types of modalities and treatments being offered, and equally was surprised to hear about the use of ketamine in therapy. Although I'm not 100% certain how I feel about it either way, I will say, learning about it here in this course really was eye opening for me and and changed my perspective quite a bit. Now I still have a lot of questions going forward as far as the potential downsides to this type of therapy, especially when it relates to drug interactions etc, but equally, I am definitely open to learning more about this in the future and seeing where this might implement into my future, not only for myself but also potentially with future patients. Definitely would recommend checking out this course, you won't be disappointed! Thanks!

Read MoreLiterally the most informative but engaging EMS CME I have ever taken. The design of each module was aesthetically pleasing and the narration was not boring and drone like. Alexandra is incredibly intelligent but also speaks to the providers in a very down to earth and easy to ingest way. 10/10 would recommend all of her CME's.

Read MoreMental health is a limitation that comes with our careers. This should be an area that is talked about and addressed from the start, and well past retirement. This training is well organized and insightful on one of the many therapeutic modalities that are available to treat PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide that plagues many first responders.
