The course provides excellent tips; however, I have two observations:

1 – I suggest adding subtitles, as the presenter has a difficult English pronunciation for those who are not native speakers.
2 – The quiz has issues; in one of the questions, even when selecting the correct answer, it marks it as wrong.

Thoughtful and comprehensive content 5
My favorite point the presenter made was that multiple layers of screening are to be avoided. Intuitively, re-screenings seem worthwhile because we expect the false positive rate to decrease, but as she points out the false negative rate will also increase. It's better to proceed with diagnostic testing once the baby fails a screening to keep the false negative rate as close to zero as possible. She didn't specifically address re-screens while the baby is still at the hospital, but I'm assuming she would endorse those, and they seem to be standard practice.

Very helpful to my current aging patient population 5
I used to ask my patients, have you fallen in the last year. Now, I will ask "Have you fallen in the last 6 months" as part of my case history.
