I enjoyed learning about the different challenges both patients and healthcare professionals face. I found the videos highlighting Physios working to help patients in crisis with limited resources very heartwarming. This course will help me become even more compassionate and unbiased while treating patients. It was a very informative course that appealed to the emotional aspect of patient care.
