Unsupervised Self Directed Study (USSD).
This course will review key non-neural anatomy, focusing primarily on cardiothoracic, musculoskeletal and abdominal anatomical knowledge, and relating that knowledge to function and how the effects of disease in an anatomical location might impact function. An overview of preclinically relevant anatomy will highlight key parallels and differences between human and animal anatomy.

These five week CPD courses in HPB surgery are delivered entirely online and are offered jointly by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh.

These courses will keep you up to date on the pathophysiology of benign and malignant hepatopancreatobiliary disorders. The courses will also develop skills in critically appraising procedures employed in diagnosis and management of HPB disease. Over each 5 week session we intend to run Hepatic, Pancreatic and Biliary sections concurrently. Each section will be be structured around a particular case study or journal club with videos.

We hope this course will empower all practitioners to act with confidence to better treat our critically ill patients using well validated protocols, safely managing the patient until expert help arrives
