You won’t just hear the information, you SEE it, FEEL it, and EXPERIENCE it.
We’ve created an ECMO clinical education experience that pairs lecture-based learning with a realistic clinical environment… complete with all the tangled lines and tubes, alarming IV pumps, and most importantly the PATIENT!
Let us simplify the gray of clinical practice!
- We’ll discuss the when, where, how, and why to safely manage the complexities of patients who are supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
- We’ll give you, the learner, the opportunity to utilize that knowledge in simulated clinical scenarios.
- You’ll leave our fully immersive learning experience with a lot more clinical confidence and comfort.
Core Competencies of Physical Therapy:
Integrity, Professional Duty, Social Responsibility, Excellence, Compassion/Caring, Accountability, Altruism

Hi, I’m Erica, PT and Board-Certified Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Specialist
Erica Colclough, PT and Board-Certified Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Specialist
I’ve been a physical therapist practicing in the controlled chaos of the intensive care setting for over 15 years.
When I started practicing in the intensive care setting, I couldn’t make heads or tails of tangled lines/tubes or decipher the alphabet-soup that filled the conversations around me. Despite first impressions, I ABSOLUTELY fell in love with the setting, team, and patient population.
My passion now is to empower clinicians to detangle the lines/tubes, translate the medical gobble goo, and function confidently in the controlled chaos of the intensive care setting.
Are you a clinical institution interested in onsite continued education for your physical and occupational therapy staff?
