Outstanding. I had very limited understanding of vents and vent settings and am now at least a dangerous amateur. I am impressed with the course as an intro and plan to look into more Med Cram classes in the future. I am especially happy that they made it free with the current ventilator crisis going on worldwide. GE, PA-C, NRP
