Eric is a great presenter who involved the audience and managed to keep my attention. I learned a tremendous amount. Eric’s teaching style is very easy to follow. He is very good at explaining the “why” for choosing certain medications rather than just reciting a list of medications that should be used for specific organisms.
— Candace J., Nurse Practitioner
