Two boxes obscure the edges of the presentation, making it difficult to see all the information on each slide. Otherwise, a concise snippet of information that is easily digested. Very clear and useful in nursing survey of client's.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
