I must say that this course was PHENOMENAL! Thank you for offering it for free. While I had to take the quiz several times (my choice), it was beneficial to go back and review. It is alot of concepts to learn in a short period of time but I will review. The lectures were very well explained. I am a novice in this area and it was helpful.

Thank you very much. Simplifying ventilation and oxygenation has given me a platform to expand my knowledge and skills with ventilators. Also, understanding the physiology and pathology of varying lung states in simple terms has helped me understand more complex literature.
