An excellent, professionally prepared course. Very informative. Different aspects about the organ donation procedures, that are always grey areas in people's minds, are well covered and answered.

Very interesting course, especially for those related with health care, it does have amazing ways of explaining medical terminology, but it is advised to have a previous medical knowledge.
