  • Aedrian Abrilla @aaabrilla
    This offering is a great academic summary on oral and throat cancers secondary to HPV. Medical students and surgeons-/oncologists-in-training will find the material "high-yield" for review purposes, and casual learners & advocates will find essential information on epidemiology, prevention and treatment for these conditions.
  • Peri Ost
    This course was very brief but interesting. I would personally have appreciated some additional/optional material. Maybe a reading list or a couple of links?
