elFH (and EnlightenMe)
There are many e-learning modules:
Anorectal disease
Gall Bladder Disease

CEMPaedia on Abdominal Pain
CEMPaedia on Appendicitis

Kidney Stones

Calgary Guide - this website is brilliant for looking at the pathophysiology of disease.
Medical causes of abdominal pain
Emergency Medicine Ireland - If I'd watched this podcast before seeing a patient with abdo pain, I think they'd have been diagnosed. If only I could remember their name!
