InterAct distance education courses: study medical management from the comfort of your home!I was extremely pleased with the quality of the material, lectures and discussions. The format made me feel like I had a personal relationship with the instructors, even though this is distance learning. --William Biermann, MD Vice President, Blue Bell, PA InterAct courses come in many shapes and sizes.

No matter what the format, InterAct courses can be taken on virtually any home or office computer. Full InterAct courses include online sessions with faculty. These sessions are 3 to 6 weeks in length, but you don't ever have to be online at a particular time of day. The discussions and case studies that take place during the scheduled online sessions are required for graduate degree or board certification board certification n.
