Coursera opened a kidney transplant course
Someone on Coursera takes courses in law or economics, someone teaches foreign languages and programming languages, but now for surgeons there is something to see. The site launched a course of Leiden University on kidney transplantation - it will tell you about everything from preparing the patient and the organ for transplantation to post-operative care.
Medical schools are actively using the Internet to force students who are buried in smartphones to learn something.
Fifty years ago, a kidney transplant was an experimental, risky, rare treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease. Today, this surgical operation has become even not trivial, but much more realistic. In 2007, about 600 such operations were performed in Russia, in 2015 - almost one and a half thousand. In the USA, this figure is higher, and in 2008 more than 16,000 kidney transplants were performed. This is largely due to the large number of donors than in Russia, where about five hundred multi-organ donors, half of which are in Moscow and the Moscow Region.

From the beginning of 2000, they use online training, this is helped by platforms such as Coursera, Udacity, edX. Leiden University in 2013 became the first German partner university Coursera. At this site there are now 13 million registered users and one and a half thousand courses devoted to topics ranging from global threats of terrorism to linguistics.
