Founder & CEO

As the founder and CEO of Premier Cardiac Education Inc. (PCE) George E. Karaguezian takes pride in making sure each student goes home feeling confident in their skills. Prior to building PCE from the ground up George was awarded a number of awards and acknowledgements through his 16 plus years of Emergency and Trauma medicine. His primary focus has always been exemplary patient care and accuracy in treatment. He has made it his goal that each student is capable of accomplishing accurate as well as safe patient care. For that reason, George has personally created custom-made algorithms specifically for each of his students for easy and quick reference in the vulnerable moments of a true emergency.
