This is the best way to use Cogence Immunology…

  1. Go to the TOOLS tab. Print out the FUNCTIONAL IMMUNOLOGY ROADMAP.
  2. Watch the videos in the FUNCTIONAL IMMUNOLOGY INTRO (it’s the first module). It’s four hours of video, spread across 10 videos, the shortest being 12 minutes and the longest being the last one, a set of case presentations that’s a bit over an hour.
  3. Go to the TOOLS tab. Print out the Cogence Brief Immunological Assessment (Patient Questionnaire).
  4. At this point, you’ve got three things: the Roadmap, the Questionnaire, and a significant level of understanding that you’ve gained from the INTRO module. START WORKING WITH PATIENTS. Gaining some experience is the best thing to do at this point. Meanwhile, also do step 5…
  5. Go forward into the course! Most clinicians do this in two ways:
    1. Watch the videos that interest you. Use the TOPIC INDEX to search for videos on the topics you want, or just look around the video listings.
    2. You can also watch the videos in order. The course builds as it goes, so this is the way to get the full effect.

Remember that most modules end with an APPLICATIONS video. On the pages that serve these videos, you’ll see a link to a printable Clinical Applications PDF.

Starting with Module 1 (after the Functional Immunology Intro module), each video has a printable graphic organizer, an outline you can use to take notes on the video. You can download and print the graphic organizer for each video from the video’s page. Research shows that you’ll have better understanding and recall if you take notes by hand than if you take notes on your computer.
