Danish term or phrase: grisekurser
I know the term is associated with much sought-after courses in the medical field, for instance, trauma surgery etc. Is there a specific English term or would I simply have to work round it in another way. Sorry there's not much more to go n in the way of context, but thanks in advance for any help.
