Comprehensive Suture Training Workshop

$447.00 – $897.00

Learn to suture like a pro! This course is our most popular suturing course and is by far the most extensive suturing course available in the United States short of a formal first assist training. Taught by Dr. Tony Romeo, this course takes the gold nuggets from First Assistant training and brings these to you at a reasonable price point anyone can afford.

This course is a very commonly used stepping stone to help healthcare professionals successfully transition into the RNFA program with NIFA (the National Institute of First Assisting, Inc which is the most commonly underwent RNFA program in the US) for their hands-on skills workshops, as the curriculum taught is consistent with the training used in their workshop for that precise purpose. As well, this course provides a developed and thorough approach to suturing that will explain WHY and HOW to decide on different types, duration, and location of sutures, which most courses barely address.

Bottom line: you will leave with a new appreciation of suturing regardless of your experience, and absolutely none is required to attend this amazing course!

Also consider the Online-Only option of this course if you are unable to come to the course live! The online version includes access to 1:1 virtual office hours with our expert instructors via ZOOM as well as 140+ videos to follow along with to learn at your own pace.

Student Reviews

  1. Stephanie Verderame –

    I am an AGPCNP student and took the comprehensive suturing class this weekend. It was AWESOME! I have not had any experience with suturing in class or in my clinical rotation(s) so I was starting with absolutely no knowledge and I left the class very confident in my new skills. The comprehensive class teaches everything from hand tying and basic suturing to complex techniques used by First Assists. Although I will not use all of the techniques in my practice as a Primary Care provider, it was neat to see them in action and at least now I have a working knowledge of the different types. John was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a great teacher. He is also pretty funny and keeps the classroom atmosphere fun and engaging. There were people from around the country in my class which goes to show how respected this company is. I highly recommend this class (and I’m sure any of their other ones) to other NP students; the APPs in my class also were impressed so it would also be a great investment for APPs looking to further their skills. I plan on taking their Office Procedures class next!

  2. M.W. –

    I attended the comprehensive suture course and the acute care skills course. Both were phenomenal! I highly recommend these courses for anyone looking to learn new techniques or brush up on their skills. Very helpful and informative!

  3. Madison Sullivan –

    THIS COURSE!!!!!!! I do not think I can even begin to rave enough about it. In three days I took the family practice work shop, orthopedic casting and splinting and a comprehensive suture course! If you are on the fence, or looking for a class to take. This is the one, you will leave here 1000x better of a provider with a skill set that is unmatched. Every instructor, Tony especially was wonderful and knowledgeable and are natural born teachers. I will continue taking any necessary courses for my practice through skills on point.

  4. Ashley Kaesebier –

    The comprehensive suturing course was beyond amazing. John is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and an amazing instructor. By far the best course I have been to. I would recommend to anyone!!
