Overall, it's great. But the modules on obstetric assistance and dental care were too theoretical. I'd have liked more hands-on practice, cause you can't just google it when you're at sea

It's a ton of information; I barely got through it all. Thirty-three modules are no joke. But I got the S.A.I.L. certificate, and that's what matters.

As a ship’s doctor, I found this course to be a solid refresher for my role in managing medical care on board. The content is comprehensive, especially on topics like pharmacology and handling psychiatric emergencies. However, I think the course could benefit from more visual material, such as videos or diagrams showing procedures like suturing or abscess drainage in action. More real-world examples would enhance the learning experience. Still, it’s a valuable course, and the certificate is recognized.

This is a very good course with a lot of practical information for seafarers in charge of medical care. The modules on diseases of the abdominal cavity and respiratory system were particularly well done. I would’ve liked a bit more focus on hands-on practice for things like dental care or obstetric assistance, as those sections felt a bit theoretical. The AI features were engaging, and the certificate is a nice addition. Overall, a strong course that I’d recommend.

This course is absolutely outstanding! I found the depth of the content incredible - covering everything from minor surgery to psychiatric first aid. The modules on dental care and death at sea were particularly eye-opening, as these are topics you don’t often think about. The videos were engaging, and the AI simulations made the scenarios feel real.

This is hands-down the best medical training I’ve taken as a seafarer. The 33 modules cover every possible scenario you might face at sea, from infectious diseases to mental health crises. The section on shipboard hygiene was especially useful for maintaining crew health. The AI integration kept me engaged, and the checklist of actions is something I’ll keep on hand. I feel confident stepping into my role as a medical officer now!

I liked the AI simulations; they really shake things up. I printed out the checklists for myself - very useful stuff.

Now I can do more than just turn wrenches; according to this course, I can handle things like diseases of the abdominal cavity. Probably.
