I was a little skeptical

“Before attending MedCerts I was a little skeptical about taking a medical-related course online, but once I got through the course I realized I retained all of the information I was taught in each lesson. I was able to pass the practice exam, and I memorized quite a lot of the work. I will recommend reading the supplemental links they give that are optional. They helped me a lot. I had a very supportive advisor. She kept in contact every step of the way! You get more than enough time to finish without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.”
