About Us
Why
THE ACADEMY OF EMERGENCY ARTS was created for two purposes.
First, to provide medical professionals who learn better in either one-on-one or in small group settings a better option. The more comfortable a student is, the easier it is for them to learn. Secondly, to satisfy a love and passion for teaching others shared between the partners who founded this instruction team.
