The Laceration Course

Hi, I am a board-certified emergency physician with 15 years of community emergency medicine and urgent care experience. I have always been attracted to entrepreneurial endeavors, the first of which was a wound irrigation device that I developed and sold to Medline Industries. My wife and I then developed a breast-pump light, Lacta Lite, www.lactalite.com, available on Amazon.

Most recently, I developed The Laceration Course, an online CME course for emergency and urgent care clinicians, residents, and students. My clinical interest in managing lacerations myself was the main stimulus. I am active in the urgent care space, recently elected to the Board of Directors for the College of Urgent Care Medicine. There is definitely a need for this type of education and I look forward to working with clinicians in this setting. I have enjoyed the process of creating a course and marketing it to those who may benefit. I partnered with a long-standing CME company, EB Medicine, to increase the reach and work towards developing regular in-person workshops. We work with many large urgent care and emergency medicine groups along with emergency medicine and primary care residency programs.
