Testimonials
"I have had the pleasure of recertifying my basic and
advanced life support several times with Clare Puzey et al.
at Foothills Medical Center, Calgary.
Clare and her team are excellent teachers.
Their varied experiences lend much breadth
to their learning scenarios.
They present the material in a calm, concise manner.
While sensitive to the varied learners’ levels of
knowledge and experience, they create a fun and
enjoyable learning environment.
They tailor the sessions to your individual needs with
lots of time to practice scenarios!
I highly recommend this group for an enjoyable day
at the cardiac resuscitation learning spa.
I plan on returning for more fun. "
