The information was well researched and well presented. Unfortunately, I know what not to do, but I don’t know what to do. Please help us learn what tests are not acceptable as far as their sensitivity and specificity. What are some other tests that we can just find online like the TEGI that are not in catalogs that we can purchase tests from or maybe aren’t marketed as well.

I took this course in 2024 and did not notice it was from 2020 until I was more than 1/2 way through. This did not seem to impact the overall content, theme or learning outcomes, but the course did refer to outdated assessments. The updated versions of some of the dx tests could now be different than what is present in this course.
