"The Houston Fire Department uses National Paramedic Institute… the IAFF’s partner for online continuing education. The information is customized to our needs. It has been a great tool for us. "

"I have really enjoyed your Medic Monthly series. As a volunteer FF/EMT, it is often hard for me to get my continuing education, at least things that count towards renewal.  This is especially true for National Registry credits.  As a scientist in real life, I have taken many other online training courses, and most are less than adequate. NPI's online classes are extremely well done, enjoyable, interactive, and are excellent learning and refresher opportunities.  I have thoroughly enjoyed National Paramedic Institute's online training and would highly recommend it to all EMS and firefighter professionals."

"Medic Monthly has excellent video footage that is specific to several topics we cover in class. The title of each video tape makes it easy to immediately put the tape into action to better illustrate our "death by PowerPoint" lectures. As students learn differently, the video format brings another method to increase learning potential in our students. The scenario sections, followed by Dr. Katz's play-by-play narration helps to drive home relevant points. It appears that there are no "protocols" being used, which is perfect for us, as we don't teach specific protocols, but rather a selection of available treatments from which their future medical directors will decide. If you're looking for a vote, Medic Monthly is the best product I've scene for supplemental use in the class room. "

"Thank you for your effort to help me access the website. I have purchased credits today and chose a course. I love the video action because it gives me a sense of how to approach and act. I found the website very effective and I will inform my colleagues and friends to visit it. I specially thank you for your help, and I thank the people who put this website together. "

"East Lake Fire Rescue, Pinellas County, FL, 3 stations 3 ALS engines with minimum staffing of 3 each. Our department had previously subscribed to a different CE provider and our personnel were very dissatisfied with the product. We have since subscribed to Medic Monthly and have gotten rave reviews without anyone complaining about the quality of the training. That in itself is rare in the fire service and a testament to the value of NPI Medic Monthly. "

"The Medic Monthly series offers our field personnel timely, relevant and entertaining continuing education on their schedule. As our requests for service increase, bringing crews together for training becomes more burdensome and stretches our resources to the maximum. Medic Monthly, with the availability of its online training center has allowed our units to remain in their first-due areas, complete relevant continuing education and utilize what would otherwise be downtime to train.

The crews like the material and have been nothing but complimentary on the quality of the topics presented in a clear, concise and entertaining format. Bravo on a job well done."

"As an educator the constant challenge of connecting with a student is quite difficult. The Medic Monthly video's allows our institution to show educationally reliable content in a video form to reinforce lectures the students have already had. We instituted the videos a year ago and have had excellent responds from the instructors and students. We look forward to seeing next month's."

"I am the Associate Professor Department Chair for the EMS Academy at Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth Florida. We have been using the Medic Monthly series going on 2 years now. My approach towards EMS education is on Active Learning. The videos enable me to first: Lecture on a topic, then discuss it, then the video gives the student a chance to see how a call of that nature would actually unfold. We then have Answer the call which is where we have the students and instructors simulate an actual call. These methods have proven extremely successful in our program. Without the ability to actually SEE a call unfold, and the instructional commentary by Dr. Katz, I don’t see how they might tackle these very real common difficult types of calls. "

"As an EMS Coordinator, I appreciate the many benefits that Medic Monthly offers our personnel. It is convenient for them to sit down in their station, view a video and do a quiz as their schedule permits. They are also able to apply their CEU's toward their National Registry certification requirements. The timeliness of the topics and the variety of medical emergencies keeps them interested. Thank you for providing EMS personnel with a fun and easy way to accomplish some of their monthly training goals."

"As an EMS educator for my department, I have seen countless ideas come and go regarding an offsite training system that is both practical and user friendly. In the past, the fire service has seen television training series, recorded video tape, as well as some digital media. However, the National Paramedic Institute has accomplished what others just talk about; a true interactive and time manageable training system. The “Online” education series provides our employees with a comprehensive training experience. The system is easy to use and provides a learning environment from the convenience of the firehouse computer. Furthermore, the system provides pre-testing, streaming video (instead of video tape), as well as post-testing and administrator interaction. Additionally, you can customize your departments website and track how your staff is doing over the internet. What a great investment!"

"The Spokane Valley Fire Department has been using National Paramedic Institute for the past couple of years. It has proven to be a great supplement to our department's Ongoing Training and Evaluation Program (OTEP), which was just approved by the State of Washington Department of Health. With the ability to now do the National Paramedic Institute's training online, it's made our annual ALS training just that much easier. I would highly recommend it for any organization who wants to expand their ALS training."

"From day one, the Medic Monthly videos have provided current, realistic, and action packed EMS training for our members. The videos are short and to the point, which is really appreciated by all firefighters in general. The training provided holds your attention and has been exceptional to date. You can't go wrong by utilizing this training venue to supplement your required paramedic CEU's"

"...In the past, getting these guys to training was like pulling Saddam out of his spider hole. Now they ask for the Medic Monthly. This has been an enormous time saver for me and great training for the crews at Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Fire/Rescue."
