Pneumonia Dx
By Zohra D. on 12. November 2023 for Pneumonia: Diagnosis

Well-explained, well-organized, and easily comprehensible. It covers all the important information in detail, labs, DD, assessment of severity.

 
Great summary of the most important facts and more.
By Marco-Aurelio D. on 30. September 2022 for Bronchitis and Pneumonia: Summary

Good Lecturer, professional appearance, good selection of high yield topics, combined with simple but important explanations on key physiopathological issues. Great experience.

 
He cannot teach
By Malakamir M. on 04. September 2021 for Respiratory Tract Infections: Introduction

If we compare his lectures with others’, we can find that as if there is a text in front of him and he read it simply. With all respect, his accent is not very comprehensive or I am not familiar with it. I have to read the subtitles to understand what he said. Secondly, there is not any exam question type or cases. If he explained the topics through some developing questions, I think it was better.

 
calificacion.
By Luz angela B. on 22. March 2021 for Respiratory Tract Infections: Classification

fue una conferencia muy clara,organizada,los medios que utilizaron para realizar las presentaciones fueron muy enteractivos ,muy claros, buena iluminacion. por lo tanto me ayudo a enteder el tema, me parecio que los subtitulos iban muy rapido y se me dificulta mucho porque hablo solo español.
