Student Reviews
"The pediatrics class was very helpful to me because during my rotation, I only got to do a 2 week rotation at the Health Department which was helpful but, it was during Covid, and I didn't get much hands-on practice. This class helped me to understand and remember how to do percentiles, measurements, formula volume etc. There is also information on pregnancy and the different trimesters. So, if there is anyone out there like myself, I highly recommend taking this class." -Angela (2025)
"Loved how we went through each "age group" and then the practice questions were helpful to review at the end." -A.C (2023)
"I enjoy more of studying in a classroom setting and with Dana, it brings me back to my classroom learning. Easy to catch the lesson. - AF (2023)

"I enjoyed how detailed Dana is when discussing topics. I feel like I've learned more here than I have at any of my courses for DPD."
