“Well presented and laid out for the beginner transitioning from IRF (with no vent patients) to acute care. I feel Dr. Burkhead-Morgan gave me the foundation to step inside a vent pt's room and have the confidence to get through day 1.” - SW
“Dr. Morgan was such a lively and engaging speaker. She really took the time to explain the more complex concepts. The benefit of the live course was that she did a beautiful job of reading the room and identifying when concepts needed further explanation. She is a credible speaker. She is intentional with her communication. Her on-the-job stories lent credibility to her presentation. I found myself quoting her phrasing often.”
