Content is superb. Significantly poor user experience. You have to click to progress to the next slide. Sometimes the slides are title pages or less than a few seconds. Most other educational videos on this site are not formatted this way. It is unfortunate this presentation is set up this way since it is one of the most informative of the Hand/UE series.

I love how this site organizes these courses. You don't get bored and also the tests are thorough but not over the top like your taking a step down version of the CHT exam. Great job all around.

I really respect these ladies insight and wealth of knowledge and I am inspired to work towards pursuing becoming a certified hand therapist. I'm just disappointed how the microphones for both ladies were so different. One instructor's microphone was just right and the other's was at times inaudible and I really found it hard to hear her. The area I was in was quiet so it shouldn't have been so hard for me to hear her and it really frustrated me and stressed me out because it was so hard for me to hear her. I feel the instructors should provide video demonstrations during all of their courses.
