About This Course
Comprehensive General Pediatrics is a practical resource with direct clinical application taught entirely using questions and quizzes to optimize knowledge retention. And because effective care requires a firm grasp of the basic sciences, you’ll find plenty of that as well.
A love of pediatrics, a commitment to patients, and a desire to have practical answers to parents’ questions motivated the construction of this course. It’s both a privilege and critically important to provide support, information, and insight along the windy, unpredictable road of raising children. Parents need answers and we should have them.
A Practical, Three-Pillar Approach
Newborn Care
From prenatal care to newborn discharge to the first office visit, you’ll move logically through every step of newborn care reviewing common issues, basic anticipatory guidance, and the newborn physical exam.
Well-Child Care
Remember GEEDS, the acronym of well-child care. An underemphasized part of training, preventative care is fundamental to healthy growth and development. Learn to assess the basic indices of wellness and guide parents through the medical & psychosocial issues they’ll face while raising a child.
Acute Care
Organized acute care starts with identifying the chief complaint and building a differential diagnosis. This lecture series is built around the most common pediatric chief complaints with their corresponding ‘evaluation algorithms.’ Pathology review is question based and clinically oriented with tons of basic science integration.

David Shafran, MD MA
David Shafran is a pediatrician, educator, writer, and father who identified his educational spirit brother in Dr. Rahul Damania. After chattering for hours about the benefits of integrated, applied education they decided to start HyGuru premised on teaching students to think like physicians while conveying a love for medicine and the human body.
Dr. Shafran also recognizes that it’s an especially challenging time to be a kid as well as a pediatrician and parent. He intends to launch a series of courses to help parents and clinicians navigate the contemporary issues that challenge the well-being and healthy development of children.
In his free time, Dr. Shafran hikes, swims, eats, fishes and sings poorly.
What Your Colleagues Are Saying
The HyGuru method was a game-changer. Dr. Shafram breaks down the most complex topics into simple, logical steps. I went into the exam feeling more confident than I ever thought possible.
I had struggled with retaining information from other resources. This course's focus on high-yield concepts and active learning finally made it stick. I wish I had this for medical school!
