Thanks dr. James Pickering, Since I've started to use lecturio I can understand much better the subject of Anatomy. It's hard but well... I wish to pass the final exams!! Thanks, Laura :)
my fellow course mates good for recalling important information before exams
thank you very much for the course, it helped me a lot.
As a newly qualified paramedic, the lectures are assisting me in going into much more detail and understand deeper the anatomy and physiology of the body, allowing for a more detailed assessment yet still responsive within emergency care situations.
