Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Event Cancelled

As part of a global healthcare organization, we believe we have a responsibility to contribute to global efforts to contain and minimize the spread of COVID-19, as well as protect our associates and yours. With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Securos University – Austin wet labs, originally scheduled for April 18-19, 2020 and previously rescheduled for August 1-2, 2020.

We recognize that this disruption will come as disappointing news. We will be processing full refunds within the next week. Please contact Kelly Nix at university@securos.scom with any questions.

We place a high importance on bringing together this valued group of practitioners that have made a continued commitment to Securos University and look forward to the time in which we can come together in-person.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. Thank you for your understanding and support!
