Can you give me advice, where I can study medicine online ? I understand that it may be kind of impossible, because there are a lot of seminars with hands-on laboratory work during medical studies. And I know the load of data is enormous. However, I would be thankful for the closest approximation to "get even" with real physicians, or at least nurses.
I suppose you've already checked the usuals like coursera, udacity, youtube courses etc.? "Medicine" is exteremely broad, but you can find some interesting intro courses to some of its aspects, e.g.:
https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&search=medicine
Just some more general courses that sound interesting/useful:
Clinical Terminology for International and U.S. Students https://www.coursera.org/course/clinicalterminology
Understanding Research: An Overview for Health Professionals (looks extremely useful!) https://www.coursera.org/course/researchforhealth
Vital Signs: Understanding What the Body Is Telling Us https://www.coursera.org/course/vitalsigns
Clinical Problem Solving https://www.coursera.org/course/clinprobsolv
Introduction to Pharmacy https://www.coursera.org/course/intropharma
Introductory Human Physiology https://www.coursera.org/course/humanphysio
Plus many intro courses on genetics, neuropsychology etc.
Those are some very good tips, thanks !
What would be the point?
Buy a subscription to Elsevier's Clinical Key website. Lots of books, updated clinical guidelines, and an endless flow of journal articles. You'll need to pay extra if you want to specialize.
Thanks, seems expensive, but I will do the free trial.
