So nice to be able to pause, rewind, or whatever while learning information. Nice to be able to learn on your own time. I appreciate all that you do for the hand therapy community.

I really enjoyed this course and the updates on the current types of arthroplasty options available. I have been performing hand therapy for 28 years, so it is great to see updates. You were very thorough and I enjoyed the style of presentation.
