Our Training Partners
Because Specialized Medical Standards was founded to develop and maintain medical education resources, we rely on our partner training companies and certified instructors to deliver the course information. SMS does not host training courses for participants. If you’d like to take a course, please visit our Scheduled Courses calendar, or contact one of our licensed training partners below.
