Preprogram Assessment


Before you proceed to the program proper, please fill up the Preprogram Assessment. It is important that you accomplish this because it will make both of us aware of where you stand as regards use of computers in health science education.

Please answer as accurately and completely as you can. Don't be shy to divulge your inadequacies. You are here to learn. Likewise, don't let sense of modesty inhibit you from revealing your existing competency. Knowing the status of your existing competency on a subject matter should be the first step in learning. Don't you think so?
