Customer Reviews
Even better in person!!
I recently attended a 48 hour Paramedic refresher to renew my National Registry Paramedic certification and was able to observe Dr. Russi on one of his lectures and I was very impressed. We were able to utilize the mannequin that you will see in this podcast (the one in which the King LT is utilized). I eagerly await future podcasts from the University of Iowa and the Emergency Medical Services Learning Resource Center. For those of you in the emergency medicine setting whether it be in a hospital or prehospital, these are great podcasts to begin your collection or to add to your current collection.
An EM Must!
By far, the most interesting pod cast series I have found on iTunes. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more. I will definitely take a long hard look at UIHC for my future EM residency.
Really great information
Most all of these lectures impart wonderful information and are a great review for those of us already in the health field. Once in a while the speaker cannot be heard well, but mostly the sound quality is good. Last one was from April 08 so I hope they continue to post podcasts this year. I miss them.
