What our clients say about CESI

“I just wanted to extend my thanks to all of you for providing such great training to my students here at NUMI [Naval Undersea Medical Institute]. They always walk out with a greater understanding of patient care skills and medical knowledge. You all have done a lot for our community and I hope you understand the gratitude that I have for not just training them but keeping me up to date with current medical practices.”

“I enjoy this kind of education because the simulations make you stay focused. The debriefing after the session enhances your knowledge. Looking forward to more!”

“I wish simulation education was given more often”

“Looking forward to additional simulation training. Very helpful, excellent instructors!”

 “The names of the patients whose lives we save can never be known. Our contribution will be what did not happen to them. And, though they are unknown, we will know that mothers and fathers are at graduations and weddings they would have missed, and that grandchildren will know grandparents they might never have known, and holidays will be taken, and work completed, and books read, and symphonies heard, and gardens tended that, without our work, would never have been.”

— Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP, President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
