Talks, lectures, and grand rounds

I speak at national conferences, state associations, residency programs, and graduate programs. Most of it is cardiology for NPs and PAs. Some of it is NP education, AI, and durable learning.

What attendees said

These are direct quotes from anonymized attendee evaluations of two four-hour sessions at the AANP 2025 National Conference: Crash Course in Cardiology and Think Like a Cardiologist. Ninety-two evaluations, unedited, representative sample.

"Indispensably helpful to practice. The most engaging speaker at the conference."
"Paul was probably my favorite and most memorable speaker from the program. I definitely want to go back to more of his sessions in the future."
"Made difficult content easy and fun. Has a great sense of humor."
"Best Course I attended overall."
"One of my favorite lectures. Great useful information and not too much information, but how to get work-up started for a patient and tests recommended for specific complaints."
"Excellent speaker. Very knowledgeable. Please have him back."
"He is one of my favorite speakers. Intelligent and funny. I will for sure attend next year."
"Great speaker, incredibly knowledgeable. Able to speak without having to read from slides."
"Made a very complex subject matter much more easily understood. Very good teacher."
"Appreciated the humor during the session, made it easier to stay engaged in the learning process."
"Probably the best speaker/presentation I attended."
"Need more than 4 hours to cover all his content."
"Talk a little bit slower. But you are a good speaker."
"Needs to stay on target. He had so much to cover. He got sidetracked by questions during the presentation."

The last two are included on purpose. The feedback is honest and the complaints are fair.
