What our learners say
reviews by Learners and Other Educators
I loved the applied mechanical ventilation videos. The videos have a logical stepwise delivery of the material, with excellent real patient examples. This makes it easy to understand and allows for almost immediate integration into clinical practice. Excited for more to come!

PCCM Fellow at Indiana University
This course has been immensely helpful for both myself and for my colleagues. Our institution changed ventilators recently and we have all noted how this course has helped with troubleshooting difficult ventilation cases in the ICU. The videos are succinct, straightforward, and highly practical in nature. I couldn’t recommend this course enough for those who want to learn more about mechanical ventilation!
Laura Saldivar, MD
PCCM Fellow at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center
This course has been an important resource during my fellowship training. The videos are concise and high-yield, including real-world scenarios and how to troubleshoot challenging situations. In a busy fellowship schedule, it is important to select the right materials to sharpen our skills. I am glad I came across Daniel’s course and recommend it to other colleagues.
