The course was very thorough. As a massage therapist and a Hospice volunteer I gained more knowledge on how to enhance my work with this clientele.

I like the changes! I'm currently learning another language on DuoLingo and the the animations at the end keep me coming back. The end result with the BoW-Wow was great and cute.

Thank you, after 30 years in practice I must say this was one of the best courses on ethics, particularly for those in a medical setting.
