Graham Whiteside from Limbs & Things was on-hand at IMSH 2013 to talk with HealthySimulation.com about their new Limbs Learning Online training platform which combines online courseware with hands-on training kits. What is really innovative about this new learning platform is that it provides online learning cirricullum which is directly tied to a specific task trainer. Learners will therefore spend less time trying to figure out a task trainer and more time practicing the skill. Watch my video interview with Graham to learn more about LimbsLearningOnline.com and the new SutureTutorPlus Kit training program:
