Following the release of the 7th edition S.T.A.B.L.E. Learner manual in June, we held our first 7th edition Instructor course and it was a huge success! We welcomed 80 qualified medical professionals into the S.T.A.B.L.E. teaching family, orienting them to the new 7th edition material over July 1 and 2 in Salt Lake City. Congratulations to all of our new Instructors!

Some comments we have received about the course:

“As a long time Lead Instructor, though attendance was not required to teach the 7th edition, I am so happy that I came, I feel more comfortable teaching the material!”

“The combination of the practical nature of leading the course with the presentation of the content was perfect for someone new to the instructor role.”

If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a S.T.A.B.L.E. Lead Instructor, we have 4 more courses this year so spread the word! Follow this link for information on Instructor qualifications and future course for 2024:
