I can't say enough good things about Stanmore School of Business's Professional Certificate in Disaster Medicine and Emergency Preparedness. The course content was engaging, informative, and immediately applicable to my work as an ER nurse. The modules on triage and mass-casualty incident management were particularly useful, and I've already seen improvements in our hospital's emergency response times. The course materials were top-notch, and the instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive. Highly recommended!
