Meet Your Lead Instructor Geoff Murphy

Think of me as your personal assistant in curing the EMT Student blues I am currently a flight paramedic and have been in EMS for 11 years. I remember going through school teaching myself through reading text books over and over again. Frustrated that I was only making progress in small steps, understanding just the surface of medicine. When I became a teacher 9 years ago I became committed to teaching students why we do the things we do. I wanted to teach EMTs to dig below the surface of medicine and truely understand it. I've taught thousands of students through Master Your Medics, helping them soar through their national exams and into their careers. Now I want to help you, I hope to see you inside our EMT refresher and get you past this last hurdle!
