The people behind the courses

Every course here is written to a published specification and reviewed by our editorial board before release. That board is practicing, doctorate-level, license-verified clinicians. Courses still being written are marked as such and cannot be bought.

How a course is made here

  1. Written to a published specification. Learning objectives, timed instruction, worked case material, and a verified reference list, built before a single page is sold.
  2. Reviewed by licensed faculty. Our editorial board reviews every course before it goes on sale, and we disclose exactly how each course was developed, generative AI drafting included. Courses still being written are marked as such and are not for sale.
  3. Tested adversarially before you see it. Every exam is audited so that test-taking tricks fail: answer patterns are randomized and checked statistically, and each question maps to a stated learning objective.
  4. Sourced, dated, and maintained. Every clinical and legal claim carries a reference. State rules show a last-verified date. Courses are reviewed on a schedule, and material changes are versioned.

Who writes these courses?

About CE credit. Continuing education credit approvals for these courses are in progress with our accreditation partners. Until an approval is confirmed for your license type and state, treat a course as professional development and check its eligibility line before relying on it for license renewal.
