I&#8217;m aware of some excellent 2-week courses, but just can&#8217;t fit those into our schedule at this point. Thanks, Doanne <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p> Hi Doanne: Sorry for the delay in answering. Been checking out this subject. A company called MedLink does exactly what you are asking about. They run three-day intensive training courses for airline, shipping and yacht personnel. They sometimes have courses in connection with boat shows. Costs run about $500 per person for the three day session, and the class is limited to eight students. The fellow to check with is: <\/p>\n<p>Bill Mahaffy, PA-C<br \/> Maritime Product Manager MedLink<br \/> (work) 570-275-8208 <br \/> WMahaff@MEDAIRE.com <\/p>\n<p>If you take the course, tell us what you think.
