Medical School for Kids with Dr. Betty Nguyen and Dr. Brandon Pham
Manage episode 355002498 series 3291931
According to the American Library Association, around 22,000 children's books were published in 2009 alone. A myriad of papers and storylines arrive in people's homes every day, ranging from magical worlds to scientific pamphlets. However, only a small fraction of these books are targeted at kids who have developed an interest in the sciences of the human body. Due to an extensive list of medical terms and organ systems, the pool of children's books that satiates the interest in learning about the inner workings of people's bodies is very poor and sometimes inaccessible. The newest Amazon book series, "The Medical School for Kids," seeks to change all of this.
We are joined today by physician couple authors, Dr. Betty Nguyen and Dr. Brandon Pham. Dr. Betty is a Dermatology resident, receiving her BS in Biology from UCLA in 2017 and MD from UC Riverside School of Medicine in 2023. She received a mentorship grant from the American Hair Research Society that guided her to be a research fellow at the University of Miami's Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery in 2022 and was rated by Doximity in the Top 10% Most Published Clinician of 2022. Dr. Brandon is an Ophthalmology resident at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the #1 ranked eye hospital in the nation. He received his BS in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics from UCLA in 2017 as Summa Cum Laude and MD from Stanford Medical School in 2021. He also received the prestigious National Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship in 2016 and Gina M. Finzi Student Fellowship in 2017, focusing on lupus research. Together, they have written a charming introduction to the medical world filled with illustrations and simple explanations, teaching kids about the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the human body.
