Welcome to the ALMR Training Section!

VIGNETTE /vinˈyet/ – A brief evocative description, account, or episode.

These short ‘tube style videos, which are limited to one specific topic, are meant to make being on ALMR less challenging and provide for training opportunities in short, topical pieces. If you have ideas for a topic you’d like us to tackle in an upcoming video vignette, we’d love to hear from you!

You can select a video category from the table below, or click on an individual training title to be taken directly to the video.
