I took this course to refresh my memory of medical terminology for coding purposes and I really enjoyed it. I like that it is broken down into smaller parts and they are all quick.

Amazing, I learned so much more than I thought I would! This course is no joke and truly helps you understand not only medical terminology but anatomy as well. Would 100% reccomend!

that course was phenomenal but why you guys have made the certificate pathetic by just replacing the candidates name with coursera learner. Why???? We can utilize our certificates like that!
