Very good tools!" | | Somewhat satisfied (3 out of 5) | | "I found the initial background information helpful and some of the definitions presented helpful. I ..." Read morewould have liked more background information, e.g. viral vs bacterial infections. That is more helpful to me than definitions, since I can read a list of definitions myself. I would also have appreciated more opportunity for interraction.
The materials provided are very helpful.
Note: In a future course, I would be interested in training on the terms and concepts used MRI reports, either a separate training course or a section of a larger course, such as the advanced healthcare terminology course." | | Somewhat dissatisfied (2 out of 5) | | "although the reference material was great, paying to hear a long list of words and their definitions ..." Read more, which can be found in most decent medical dictionaries, was not my idea of a useful webinar." |
