TOP REVIEWS FROM MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY I
Love every piece of this course, from the instructor to the course content. Nothing but phenomenal... I love the way Dr. Laura teaches, so far she is one of my favorites...
Thank You so Much!
The first course in this well-paced and accessible specialization. Highly-recommended to start your journey of medical terminology discovery.
Lectures were short and entertaining (difficult to do with an online class) and quizlet flashcards and activities were available fo review.
Very organized and well displayed medical terminology material. Easy to follow and enjoyed refreshing myself with the material.
