Welcome, Welcome! We are so happy to see you here. Let's take a look at what we have in store for you. Plain and simple, these courses are designed to give you the knowledge you need to excel in your career whether that is as a medical professional, an allied health professional, a healthcare industry professional or a non-clinical humanitarian team volunteer. It is not meant to make you into a clinician if you are not one already, nor to load you up with tons of esoteric information. These courses are designed to make your job easier, to make you more receptive to the needs of the customers/prospective customers/patients you meet and in the long run, to improve the overall level of care through your involvement in the healthcare community. Let's look at how this is going to work. STRUCTURE - The course is structured so you can work at your own pace, learning that which you don't already know. If you need to stop partway through the module, that is fine. You can come right back to where you left off. Videos can range from 3 minutes to 20 minutes or more if you are assigned a complex subject. Each video has the time listed so you can plan accordingly. QUIZZES - Some of the medical/clinical courses have Knowledge Checks so you can assess how well you learned the information; if you met your goal. If you didn't quite catch it the first time, you can go over the information again and retake the quiz. You can re-take the quiz up to 3 times, so don't worry if you didn't do well enough on your first try. Although the quizzes will show you a grade, the grades are not shared with anyone but you. The overall goal of this course is for you to have an appreciably higher knowledge level at the end of the course than you did when you began and to feel more prepared for your work in the health care arena. But be forewarned, the Knowledge Checks are not just memorization of the concepts in the chapter; some will ask you to think a bit to answer some of the questions. Some questions also build on concepts you learned in previous chapters when combined with the new info in that chapter. It's called Critical Thinking; practice makes perfect with that kind of thinking. If you don't see a button for KNOWLEDGE CHECKS after a module, your course only utilizes a final Knowledge Check. Lucky You! SEQUENCE - When you click on your CLASS below you will see what chapters/modules have been assigned to you for that course. If you are assigned more than one chapter/module, follow the proper sequence that your program has assigned to you. The sequence has been designed so the current concept builds on the last one via an evidence-based method of learning. You will never be thrown into a complex subject without having a foundational introduction offered. However, there may be modules that do not pertain to your specific course so you may be directed to skip from Chapter 10 to 14 or Module II and then be directed to Module IV. No worries, it's all part of the plan. HYPERMEDIA - This course utilizes what is called hypermedia to make the content more exciting, more interesting, easier to understand and just plain to keep you from falling asleep. Concepts will be explained using video clips, through an animated video or a presentation to meet the objectives. For some, you will be asked to do some reading. No matter the media used to teach, be assured that each item is based on both evidenced-based educational principles and on the most up-to-date medical information available. IN CONCLUSION - It is truly our hope that this learning allows you to meet each day with the knowledge that you are truly an expert in your job. You'll feel it and your customers, patients, and clients will see it as well. Enjoy!
