Good short course. Use of examples to demonstrate points is very effective, and makes learning so much more interesting.

This course helped with my understanding of medical issues are not only about treating a diagnosis and their symptoms but also psychologic ways it can effect the patient.

A useful course, although a bit short. It would be great to have a longer course focusing on other cancer sites, and in more detail.
