Good short course. Use of examples to demonstrate points is very effective, and makes learning so much more interesting.

Love it! This course stated that you would need to be a health care physician, but I finished it as a student still learning in Highschool. This course is very helpful and entertaining.

This course helped with my understanding of medical issues are not only about treating a diagnosis and their symptoms but also psychologic ways it can effect the patient.
