Great program!

February 1, 2021

This course was great. It was quick, informative, and easy to use. The only things I would recommend to change to make it better would be including pregnant women in the high risk category at the beginning of the course, as well as having an option to keep subtitles on for the entire course rather than having to click on subtitles for every individual video.
