The assessments covers a very long session however I enjoyed the overall session except the long time run of assessment. Usually assessment is taking more than an hour...

Very useful course for everyone. It may be hard sometimes for people who did not studied any medicine related topics but if you eager to learn then it is worth it. Thank you.

Great in depth course! I went from knowing hardly anything to learning so much! I have discovered that the more I learn the more things there are to learn.
