- Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance and their self- reported confidence level related to each probing question.
- Course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probes, and Cognitive Assessment Activities.
- The student has a choice of completing a pre-hospital or in-hospital contextualized
track.
