Patient Education

What sets Colen Ventures above the rest?

Why choose our Medi-DVDs over other media based educational products?

Colen Ventures only utilizes the most familiar and easy to use interactive platforms for the presentation of our Medi-DVDs. Both TV and iPad provide a simple and straightforward way for patients to assimilate necessary medical information related to increasing level of understanding of procedures they may be considering.

Medical professionals can relay copious amounts of factual information to their patients about a procedure, but it is only when the patient is actually able to visualize the process that an optimal level of understanding is achieved.

Increased patient understanding ultimately leads to increased patient satisfaction.

The procurement of a more comprehensive knowledge base will increase patient confidence, thus allowing for the patient to make better-informed decisions about different routes for treatment. Patients will feel better about elected procedures, which can in turn result in better post-operative patient outcomes.

Better outcomes promote your practice!

Things to come!

Colen Enterprises is currently involved in a number of projects geared at improving our current product line.

Of particular interest due to the upcoming neurology board examinations in the fall, is our recent effort to improve our Board review flash-cards.

The end of the summer (2010) marks the anticipated release time-frame of the third edition of the Colen Flash-Review.

A more organized format and the increased clarification of included concepts provides the reader with an improved way of learning material that is imperative to successful performance on the boards.

See below for a sample from our Neurobehavioral cards and check the website now to purchase edition II!

Learn more about Colen Publishing!

What is now the entirety of Colen Enterprises, first began as Colen Publishing back in 2003 when Chaim B. Colen, M.D. published his first medical handbook, The Handbook of Pediatric Neurosurgery. Dr. Colen was a resident at Wayne State University and felt there was a need for such a manual since none existed at the time. From here, Colen Publishing was created and expanded the product line to include various sets of comprehensive flashcard board reviews. Topics covered in these flashcards now encompass neurosurgery, neurology, pathology, biology, radiology, and anatomy, as well as USMLE Step 1 and Step 2.

Colen Publishing became fully incorporate as a limited liability company in 2007 and is continually working to expand its product line, incorporating new topics into the list of upcoming medical manuals and current board-review flashcards.
