Feels like home
I have been practicing general pediatrics for 45 years and I can never get enough. Dr Benaroch feels like, looks like, behaves like and talks like a pediatrician. I can easily see him in an office full of kids like mine and keeping his cool. I am enjoying this so much. I am always studying and keeping up with my profession and his lectures are full of surprises. I have shared some of the videos with my wife who is Behavioral Developmental pediatrician just for fun. I highly recommend this course.

Third time with Dr Roy and still enthralled!
I am halfway thru the Pediatrics Grand Rounds and there is no fourth course follow on so I will have to wait for the next one, I guess. As before I am amazed at the complexities a doctor has to deal with patient after patient.

Great information!
As a former back office medical assistant in busy family medicine practices, I have some practical knowledge of treating some illnesses in children. This course extends beyond my past knowledge. The MD--Dr. Roy Benaroch--has a very pleasant voice and manner, and is very interesting. I have watched the first ten lessons and am on the eleventh. I have only been watching for four days in between all my other work, reading, and activities. I look forward to watching it later today. Thank you for this course, as well as for the good price and speedy delivery.

Review of Pediatric Grand Rounds
As a physician who graduated from the medical school, Emory in Atlanta, where the professor of this course practices and teaches, I enjoyed this course greatly. The teacher is very orderly and clear and does a great job of putting the listener into the mind of a pediatrician. The ailments are well chosen and the unique nature of pediatric practice is well-described.
