This learning module and test was relatively easy to follow. It would have been nice to have audio dictation for those who receive information better visually and at a faster pace than auditorily. Additionally, after the test you only receive a pass or fail. It would be nice to receive your score and the answers you missed so that you can still study after the fact.

This was a very informative course and a refresher of previously known things. Working in the medical field for 31 years, a lot of the information was well know, however, this helped me put things in better perspective.
