Very interesting course, especially for those related with health care, it does have amazing ways of explaining medical terminology, but it is advised to have a previous medical knowledge.

The course offers a great knowledge and it is enjoyable and quick. However, your assessments are sort of meant to trick you. They are more like mind games, if you miss on the wording then you are out.

interesting about or donation. Although, it is the 2010s, as I have surprised there was no mention of growing organs using 3-D printers or any futuristic technologies used that would help in organ donation.
