She specifically targets ambulatory surgery centers; physician-owned surgery centers; and diagnostic centers. Her business also targets those in medical industry companies and provides continuing education on their behalf.

 

Because she takes the education programs to the facilities, the facility administration can schedule participation by the entire nursing staff and allied health personnel of the facility.

 

All courses are currently one or two hours in length. Most are available for continuing education contact hours. For more informaiont, contact Florence Petersen. She will develop a program to meet the needs of your facility and staff.
