Don't forget  the original  PhysWhiz Series

Using the sound instructional design principles of the original seven PhysWhiz programs, the NEW PhysWhiz II programs include:

• Video clips of physical assessment techniques for visual learners
• Windows System design with drop down menus and a navigation tree. A look familiar to your students.
• A large assortment of pathophysiology examples to link theory to patient care
• Capability to print out every screen
• Narration of all screens for auditory learners
• Extensive use of graphics, audio, and video to facilitate student understanding of the concepts presented.
• Generous use of practice items providing immediate reinforcement of the information presented as well as opportunities for students to evaluate their understanding of a concept.
• A test bank, designed to address all levels of difficulty. Knowledge and comprehension questions are used to ensure the student has mastered the necessary foundation. Synthesis and application questions are used to test the student's ability to apply the information to patient situations.
