Catherine Coffey ACP, AEMCA
I had the privilege of training under Jacob (as a paramedic) and his passion for knowledge and education was infectious. Not only is Jacob extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of his domain but his ability to breakdown difficult concepts into digestible pieces of information was outstanding and really progressed my education and skill set. Jacob’s approach is completely student centered. There is not ego in his approach which for me, fostered a very supportive and comfortable environment in which I felt comfortable to learn and make mistakes. No mistake was stupid, no question was pointless.
- Jacob has an insatiable hunger for learning. But more so passion for teaching, supporting and guiding. He has the ability to encourage others to discover their won passion and direction through his inclusive and adaptive teaching approach
He has published three medically related books (one translated into seven languages), chapters in multiple textbooks, and almost 40 medically related articles.He has presented more than seventy workshops, courses and lectures both nationally and internationally.
