There are case studies and Patient Simulations that must be completed. There is a mandatory 3-hour Zoom session in Module 7. You must have a mock patient and your own supplies (Brannock Device, 5.07 10 gm monofilament, 128 Hz tuning fork, and a pedal thermometer) to complete the Zoom session. Successful completion of all assignments is required for eligibility to take the final exam.
