  1. Jody Wait

    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.

  2. Anonymous

    Very nice overview.

  3. John Wirth COTA/L

    This was the ‘pick of the litter’, new information for me, . Good support material and I like the turnaround time for testing and certificate.

  5. Linda Stanton

    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.
