Great basic info that I needed to get an idea of what to look for and consider in prospective job opportunities. Easy to navigate and review for reminders.

Information in the lecture is too broad and general. Wish the lectures dived into little more specifics and details.

It has good information but I find myself having a hard time focusing on the video. The health care system videos were hard to listen to because I did not find much relevance in it in current situation as third year resident. I found section 4 to be golden.
