"This was my first online course experience through AAPEducation and overall was surprised as to the ease of my learning.
The format was really digestible and non-threatening and the multiple forums used, including both lecture-style presentation and group work using breakout rooms, worked well.
Overall Ebonie’s teaching style reflects what everyone wants with a learning experience – great information which, in its essence, is directly relatable to clinical practice. Many thanks, Ebonie!!
For me, this has been a stand out the course and now I definitely feel like I am walking confidently on firm ground when assessing and treating lower limb tendinopathy, and the differentiating peritendenitis!
I encourage all interested people to complete this course."
