I completed the case study PAI activity in my course and I'm honestly impressed with the results. The use of PAI really enhances the depth and application of the course material by a huge margin. It's exciting to see how AI can add such value to student learning, and I'm looking forward to experiencing more of these innovations in coursework. Super impressed and well done for rolling this out!

This course is fantastic! Despite much talk about psychosocial aspects and bias in physiotherapy these days, I've never come into contact with the world of values, stereotypes and their influence on communication. Yet they're so important! Marissa's course is a clear, well-grounded and relevant introduction to these fundamentals of interpersonal relationships. It demonstrates with clinical examples how significantly our values can impact our relationship with the patient, our therapy goals, and outcomes. I highly recommend it!

This is a very informative and interesting course that is very very relatable! With each patient scenario presented, I had immediate references to my own patients and their interesting personalities, and just had to smile! Thank you Marissa!
