I would highly recommend this course!

Melissa (Optometric Assistant)

HealthE Academy with Dr Rob has helped me not only understand the important roles and nuances of other departments in the clinic, but has helped me understand my own role as a pretester better. Through visually engaging and informative lessons, I was able to gain more insight into what happens in the exam room after I leave and the importance of the information I gather for the optometrist. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn a little bit more about the eyecare industry, both general information and specifics. For those just entering the profession to those who have been in it for years, there is always more to learn! Thanks Dr Rob!

Tailored to fit multiple learning styles

Ritzy (Optical)

The training was informative had visual demonstrations and was interactive. Lots of examples were given for each section and it was tailored to fit multiple learning styles. Another aspect that I found was the consistent encouragement after the completion of each course. Overall it was a good training course and would re-visit again.

Does not feel like a seminar: engaging, entertaining

Amy (Pretester-CCOA)

after taking Dr.Robs course, not only am I more knowledgeable in the eye world but I also took away how his fine details made a big difference. Dr.Rob incorporated change of setting, angles, great graphics and style. Taking HealthE does not feel like a seminar. Engaging, entertaining, and a great approach on learning. Thanks Dr.Rob!

Loved this course

Lauren (Optical)

Loved this course as someone in optical who doesn't utilize the machines. Good information!
