Surgery 101 is an online learning resource developed by students, residents and faculty at the University of Alberta. It offers free open-access podcasts and resources for medical students to learn all things surgical. While the focus may be on Surgery, a number of these podcasts review important presentations in Pediatrics that learners should be familiar with.

- Understand the commonality of pediatric brain tumours
- Describe the most common symptoms seen in children suspected of having a brain tumor
- Describe the steps in determining what to do about the tumor
- Describe the characteristics associated with the two most common pediatric brain tumors
