Moms face all kinds of behavioral and medical issues with their kids. Why are they vomiting? Why do their ears hurt? Why are they struggling in school? Are they growing normally?
A new release from the Great Courses — a Chantilly, Virginia-based company that sells courses featuring lectures from top college professors — aims to give parents a layman's crash course in pediatrics.
The course, "Medical School for Everyone: Pediatrics Grand Rounds," features 24 half-hour lectures by Dr. Roy Benaroch, an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at Atlanta's Emory University School of Medicine, and a doctor at Pediatric Physicians in Roswell.
The course is designed to help parents, caregivers and anyone interested in medical problem-solving determine when (and when not) to worry. Course takers will learn about how pediatricians examine and diagnose patients, how they cope with difficult parents and patients, how they address medical issues unique to children, and how the field of pediatrics has evolved and may change in the future.
Lectures include everything from fevers to pediatric psychiatry, and vomiting to adoptions.
The course comes in a set of CDs or DVDs, and video or audio downloads. It costs $44.95 to $79.95 at sale prices; the full prices range from $79.90 to $142.90.
