I'm not posting this as an advertisement, but rather since I've taken a couple of the courses offered by Stanford Online, I saw this one, and I thought I would share the information. Here is the course description taken from the course webpage http://online.stanford.edu/course/sicko-cme-self-study-2014:
"The course will fill the gap between didactic learning and clinical application in developing an interactive course that offers an opportunity to learn and apply surgical decision making skills for practicing surgeons in treating acute and sub-acute surgical conditions and complications.
Learning Objectives
This course is designed to meet the educational needs of a national audience of practicing general surgeons."
I hope this can benefit anyone that wants to try it.
