University Program Testimonials
We have had a great experience bringing in Maverick to our nurse anesthesia program over the last few years. The hands-on USGRA and POCUS training is very helpful for real world experience with our students. Also, the ease of adoption into our program and the responsiveness of the Maverick team were amazing. They were entirely collaborative with the logistics of getting us started using their training.
Maverick gives our students top of the line, hands on, regional instruction in our lab. Students get one-on-one instruction from knowledgeable CRNA’s that is unbelievable! They provide an educational experience that is top notch!
The collaboration with Maverick and Arkansas State University at our 2024 lab was an excellent teaching and learning opportunity. The Maverick workshop experience was so positive that the A-State Nurse Anesthesia Program will be incorporating these workshops annually. The Maverick instructors were very professional, respectful and taught a phenomenal workshop. Maverick helped in every facet of the set up process and we were extremely happy with the outcome of the workshop With the current trend of multimodal anesthesia today, this workshop is a must!
Our university has a longstanding relationship with Maverick and residents continually rate their lab as one of the highlights of the program. There is no comparison for the pulsatile cadaver-based training provided by Maverick. I have no doubt this education contributes to the greater than 3000 regional anesthetics performed by our residents annually. We’re pleased to have recently added the POCUS training to prepare the next generation of anesthesia providers.
Our students and faculty had an amazing experience at the Maverick regional and point-of-care ultrasound workshop. The pulsatile cadavers and live models offered an exceptional opportunity for our learners to apply their didactic/classroom knowledge, and gain valuable hands-on experience before they begin their clinical rotations. The instructors and staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate. It was a great event all around!
Maverick was absolutely top-notch. I was so proud of our residents who were engaging and focused.
NMSU NA program strives to provide quality independent anesthesia training with a goal to transform anesthesia care in New Mexico.
The students found the experience very valuable, and, as always, the instructors were excellent! We look forward to hosting Maverick again!
Student Testimonials
Maverick completely improved my confidence in identifying structures on ultrasound, and I feel much more ready to care for patients.
As a second-year SRNA, these modules put my anxiety about learning peripheral nerve blocks and POCUS to rest. Maverick helped making this daunting skill seem approachable and achievable.
Maverick was an extremely thorough program taught by providers with a vast amount of experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will be able to apply its teachings to my practice.
The Maverick US course is phenomenal for both beginner and ultrasound experts alike! The way the videos are structured makes you feel like you are actually in the room and learning hands-on. Well done!
Maverick is a great tool, especially for SRNAs, that are diving into regional anesthesia. I feel very confident going into my lab training with the online training that was provided to me.
My experience with Maverick Medical has been nothing short of exceptional. This course is truly outstanding and an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to elevate their clinical skills or refresh their knowledge of long-forgotten alternatives in pain management and anesthesia adjuncts.
The instructional staff demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Equally important, they were personable, approachable, and genuinely invested in creating a positive learning experience.
The learning environment was both laid-back and highly interactive, encouraging engagement, questions, and hands-on participation. The combination of expert instruction and a supportive atmosphere made the course not only educational but truly enjoyable.
I highly recommend Maverick Medical to any healthcare professional committed to expanding their expertise and enhancing the quality of care they provide.
This Maverick course did a great job at providing a basic understanding of common blocks and how to perform them. The information was presented in a engaging manner, and I really appreciated the videos where David walked us through a full block from scanning to needle placement. Awesome resource for anyone wanting to improve their regional skills!
I was genuinely so excited to watch these modules! The material was presented in a very structured way that was easy to follow and understand. I feel much more confident in my ability to identify anatomy on US as I enter into clinicals and am definitely inspired to advocate for as many regional opportunities as possible.
Maverick is an excellent program that helps to enhance knowledge of regional anesthesia and POCUS.
Excellent course! Thoughtful design provides basis for efficient and meaningful learning which subsequently allows for instant application of US skills to clinical practice.
