This online EKG interpretation course exceeded expectations. The professor delivered the content in a clear, structured way that made it easy to follow, even through a virtual format. Each module built progressively on the last, starting with the basics and advancing to more complex topics like arrhythmias, heart blocks, and ischemic changes.

Despite being online, the course felt interactive. There were plenty of visuals, practice strips, and case studies to reinforce key concepts. The professor also made themselves available for questions and provided thoughtful feedback in the discussion forums, which helped bridge the gap between remote learning and personal engagement.

The self-paced format worked well, and the downloadable materials were a great resource for review. Overall, it was a highly effective and practical course for anyone in healthcare looking to improve their EKG reading skills.
