Testimonials

“When our facility hosted an Advanced Fetal Monitoring course by Lisa Miller, we were excited to provide nurses and physicians in our area the opportunity to benefit from her evidenced-based approach. Lisa’s approach to fetal monitoring enriched learning for our entire obstetric staff, including our physicians, as they learned side by side with nurses in the same class. Even our most doubtful physicians acknowledged her expertise and stated that she had enhanced their practice of fetal monitoring interpretation and management. We will definitely be having her return!”

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the wonderful OB on Trial and EFM Review course last week in NY. As I mentioned last week, I was lucky enough to attend one of your classes back in 2009. I had been out of OB for a while to start a family and the NICHD nomenclature had changed while I was not working L&D. I happened to have a deposition scheduled 3 days after taking your course for a case in which I had been a charge RN on the floor when we had a bad outcome. I took the course and spent the next few days reviewing the NICHD guidelines prior to my deposition. The deposition went so well that the attorney offered to use me as an expert if I obtained my certification and I was never called to testify at trial. Thank you!”
