What our fellows say

Winnie Ye

Occupational Therapist

The surgical module and especially the flexor tendon module was amazing. Very in depth, was great that it was targeted to our protocol specifically and gave me a really thorough understanding of the anatomy and goals of treatment. 

Jess Cauchi

Occupational Therapist

The skills module was very helpful to understand how to fabricate splints and learn the tricks that other therapists use. 

Amanda Zennaro

Occupational Therapist

I found the common conditions module really helpful. The quizzes were great, as they made you really mindful of focusing on the content. I found I referred back to these modules after seeing patients also, as I could then relate to things.
