These hands-on courses with individual coaching were initially developed at the request of Maine physicians and critical care transport providers who needed to improve their skills, particularly emergency airway and trauma management skills. Critical Care Training Associates developed a unique, humane training program using fresh sheep cadavers, and their education modules have evolved to become effective labs that provide instruction and real-world simulation that allow students to master skills that actually translate to clinical practice. The results speak for themselves, and the program continues to grow after 28 years of ongoing development and improvement.
