Carol Harm –
I learned / relearned some things that I knew but don’t use on a daily basis. It was a good review with some new things about evaluating the cervical spine.
Lori Rahaim –
This was a GREAT course and I would recommend it to my colleagues. It was easy to follow and the test questions were easy to find within the course delivery.
