I took an EEG course through GIHS that I really enjoyed. The course expanded my mind and pushed me in a lot of ways to capture complex nuances to the process and machinations of EEG and how it works giving me the confidence needed when as I embark on this field. In addition to the learning materials - the communication was exceptional from officials and anything that you needed help with they were there willing and ready able to assist. Thank you so much GIHS!

They have a very good independent study methodology and the subject matter is really good; in my personal case, since this specialization is not available in my country, the Institute of Health was a wise choice.
