As soon as I became a parent I found myself googling medical information non-stop. That first year I googled everything from fevers to what to do for falls and more. It would have been nice to have an unlimited streaming service full of medical knowledge at my finger tips. I was trying to learn as much as I could so that I could be prepared for anything that may happen to Peyton. Now that’s she’s older I still find myself googling medical questions and calling our pediatrician. I’m always looking to gain knowledge about health issues that could impact Peyton. The Great Courses Plus has a whole series of lectures just on pediatric medicine and offers unlimited streaming!
The Great Courses Plus is an online subscription on-demand video learning service You can start watching a video on you cell phone and when you get home finish it up on your television! You can literally learn anywhere at anytime. There are over 8,000 lectures and courses from Ivy League professors, university professors from all over the world, experts from National Geographic, The Smithsonian and more. You will have unlimited access to lectures on science, math, history, literature, yoga, cooking and more.
The first area I explored was the health, fitness and nutrition lectures. This is the year we are focusing on family health so I wanted to check out this section and see what type of lectures there were. I zeroed in on the lectures on pediatric medicine. I’m a parent, of course I want to learn as much as I can about anything that could benefit Peyton. I’m also on a weight loss journey so the lectures on body composition: diet and exercise caught my eye too.
I decided to start watching on our television so I could fold some laundry as I learned. Super simple to start streaming. It’s no different than signing on to any other service and then I chose which lecture I wanted to watch. So much information! We’ve had so many issues with ear infections that I wanted to watch this video first. I learned so much about the ear! I learned all about the anatomy of the ear and what goes into diagnosing an ear infection. I thought the diagnoses came from looking in the ear, now I know there is much more to it. I also understand why the doctor does what she does during our visits. And I even saw what the ear drum looks like when it’s healthy and infected. Extremely insightful!
The Great Courses Plus is full of lectures I want to watch. And I can do it at my own pace. While I was watching the video on ear infections I was able to pause it and switch the laundry. I liked having the freedom to stop and start the lecture so I could take care of other duties.
There are many lectures I plan on watching. So many topics I’m interested in. The Great Courses Plus is currently giving away the first month free! After your free trial month, you can continue your subscription for as low as $14.99 a month. I suggest signing up and trying out the service. Think of how much you can learn. Think of how much your children can learn. They even have lectures on science, math, history and more. New lectures are added every month so you’ll never run out of lectures for you or your family to learn from.
