| 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. |

| This was the 'pick of the litter', new information for me, well spiced with additional videos, but the disc would skip occasionally with a resultant LOUD scratch which through earphones was really bothersome. Good support material and I like the turnaround time for testing and certificate. |
