Danielle Pointon –
There are three main criteria I look for when choosing a course that is aligned with my career focus:
1. Is the Content related to Industry trends – does it have upward trajectory? (market need)
2. Who has provided the content- ie. who is the certifying authority?
3 . Do the modes of learning include theory, hands on experience, and continuous long term learning?
MEDEXN and Dr. Sheri Colberg deliver all of this in an excellent format with relevant content. In addition they were very responsive to questions and a delight to correspond with.
DIABETES is a rapidly growing concern which can have devastating long term effects if you cannot get in front of it. This will give you the tools to make a difference in your own life and the life of others. Thank you and well wishes in your career paths.
Ps- make the extra investment in Dr. Colberg’s published books for additional resource- they are very detailed.
Heather Creamer –
