This course gives me definitions of words I will definitely see in the medical field before it's too late.

Overall a very useful course. However, the scripts would benefit from thorough proofreading, and a few quizz questions had no correct answer (1.1 and 3.4 and the pregnancy one in quizz 4).

Excellent course for back country environments for anyone who is responsible for the care of others when not in a medical environment.
