Check out our updated Family Practice Skills Workshop here!
Whether on-site university training, corporate training, or unique healthcare system privileging solutions, our dedicated team of over 30 expert instructors can reach out and support you anywhere in the United States, providing accredited content in a vast array, scalable to meet the need of your audience and desired depth of content covered. We can work with nearly any budget and provide solutions you might never have thought possible.
Dozens of nurse practitioner programs, medical schools, and physician assistant programs have benefitted from the considerable resources of Skills On Point, and just like them, you can reach new areas of content you previously would have thought out of reach due to capital constraints, instructor availability, or for no other reason than we are invested in the expertise of teaching this content well and want to make your life easier!
It’s pretty simple! Let’s start with a conversation where we discuss your programming goals, budget, timing, and audience size. All potential customers will have a dedicated conversation with Dr. John Russell, the owner of Skills On Point where we listen to your unique needs.
With this information paired with our experience with this content, we can suggest a reasonable game plan to accommodate your course in whatever timeline you can support. Most courses require several months of lead time to manage schedules and instructor availability. Since each of our instructors work in their field of expertise, we ask that no less than three months’ notice prior to the desired event for scheduling.
We will always offer you the best price up front in our proposal. We want you to experience the best training available and because we know you will walk away blown away with the value, our goal is to plan for repeat business. For this reason, nearly all of our Concierge Course clients are repeat customers. You save us marketing money, so we save you the expense as well.
If the deal works for us both, we proceed to contracting. Our legal team will send over a contract to review and sign electronically and then we proceed to invoicing. There is no wrong way to manage the course expense. Some clients choose to have us create a registration link to share for interested participants to enroll in individually. Others will contract for a bulk corporate enrollment. Either way, we can work with you to make it fit your organizational needs.
All that’s left is to sit back, kick your feet up, and enjoy the experience. We handle everything and you get to revel in the fact that your organization just hit it out of the park.

Take this opportunity to show a healthcare provider just how much you care this holiday season with a gift card to Skills On Point!
Can be used on any live or online course and best of all, they never expire, so regardless of whatever is going in the world, rest assured we can make learning new skills or getting continued education credit work with your schedule!
A great amount for a gift card is anywhere from $300-500 for live courses and $50-300 for online courses.
That means using professional-grade gear! People who attend our live courses have the benefit of using OR-grade equipment, but until now, we were forced to keep the gear to ourselves since the cost is far too much to pass on to the students. Not anymore! We are SO excited to offer this purpose-built custom instrument set at the specific requirements to give our students something NOBODY else offers: Professional Grade Suturing Instruments!
Even better, you don’t have to buy a full suturing course to benefit from this great opportunity. We recommend you do if you have not yet done so, but if you already know how to suture and just want to sharpen your skills with the right kind of gear, you’ve come to the right place. We can supply you with sutures and suturing pads also if you are in need! See separate listings
