Yes, there are ways to find the specific course you want. An advanced

search under " Distance learning " on most search engines will do. I can

think of two programs that have, for example, micro available by

correspondence. You also might consider epidemiology as a possibility.

At one time, I was of the opinion that " all I need is science, the rest

is just a money maker for the institution " . But courses like logic,

philosophy, ethics, etc, all help you develop as an individual, and help

you make good decisions. Even a diversity class can help you explain a

procedure to a patient. Statistics can help you understand the rationale

for why they changed CPR for the umpteenth time. A speech course can help

you when it comes time to get bucks from somewhere and you have to go to

city council, the Lions/Rotary/Whoever Club to back your need (read beg

effectively :-) ). The potential is limited only by your imagination.

I guess the day I stop learning will be the day I have the bag zipped up

over me.
