"Medical School for Everyone: Pediatrics Grand Rounds" Dr. Roy Benaroch (24 Lectures / 30 Minutes Per Lecture / 4x DVD - The Great Courses)
This 24-lecture course, led by veteran pediatrician Dr. Roy Benaroch, utilizes a "case-based" teaching model to pull back the curtain on how pediatricians diagnose and treat infants, children, and adolescents. Moving beyond rote memorization of symptoms, the series adopts the "Grand Rounds" format—a tradition in medical education where complex patient cases are presented for analysis and discussion. Each 30-minute session functions as a medical mystery, challenging the audience to identify subtle clues, interpret physical exams, and navigate the "detective work" required to distinguish common ailments from life-threatening conditions.
 
While the curriculum covers essential clinical topics like neonatal care, infectious diseases, and respiratory distress, it also places significant emphasis on the developmental and behavioral nuances of pediatric practice. Dr. Benaroch bridges the gap between science and the "art" of medicine by discussing the psychosocial aspects of care, such as managing sleep issues, discipline, and childhood obesity. By examining everything from the physiological challenges of international adoption to the complexities of adolescent mental health, the course provides a comprehensive overview of the modern pediatric landscape, making it as valuable for caregivers and educators as it is for aspiring medical professionals.
