COURSES
All our HOUSE offerings travel to your community, maximize the hands-on time, and teach to learners with variable skill levels. While we have three off-the-shelf courses, we actually customize the agenda of each course to suit your community needs. Find the course that fits your needs, whether your interest is in acute care, maternity care, or internal medicine. Can’t find what you are looking for?
