Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Keatley. Them and their team share their story with us below:
MedUltra Learning, LLC is a local, woman-owned small business based out of Durham, NC. The company was incorporated on April 7, 2017, by two paramedics that have a passion for instructing lifesaving skills. As EMS professionals and credentialed instructors, they understood the importance of early recognition and rapid response to cardiac arrest. The team set out to train local communities on how to take action through the American Heart Association (AHA).
On July 1, 2017, MedUltra Learning began instructing courses via mobile, onsite services. As the demand for training increased, MedUltra Learning opened a classroom in northern Durham in October of 2018. In July of 2019, MedUltra Learning received recognition as an authorized AHA Training Site. A second classroom was opened in September of 2020. In June of 2021, MedUltra opened a satellite location in Roxboro, NC, and added a 33ft mobile classroom that travels to surrounding cities.
In October of 2021, MedUltra Learning became a Licensed Training Provider for the American Red Cross (ARC). On November 1, 2021, the company was made a sub-distributor of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and related emergency medical equipment.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Yes, we’ve made blind jumps into the unknown within the pandemic. Our success is solely due to a supportive community and many hours of hard work. Our biggest challenge was building and maintaining relationships, both new and old, with clients that hosted our team for private classes.
Many were unable to have guests enter their facility, experienced corporate decisions that halted training, or were hit with budget cuts.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

In my personal life, family. I’d never make it without their support. Professionally, building confidence in everyday people on how to safely assist others. It’s about preparing for “when” it happens, not “if.”
