Description

By Daniel Bernstein, Steven P. Shelov

This book is a practical combination of pediatrics textbook and review guide designed for medical students during their pediatric rotations and for preparing for the MIR exam. The text is organized into two sections: the first describes general pediatric practice and routine preventive visits, and the second is divided into systems, outlining the pediatric approach necessary to establish a differential diagnosis. The chapters are organized around the essential aspects of pediatric rotations, and each covers clinical and laboratory evaluation tests, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, patient management, and representative pediatric examples to enable students to make immediate clinical connections. The book includes content authorized and recommended by the prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): through its thorough review of the text, the AAP ensures its conformity with the latest policies and treatment principles. The full-color interior design enhances the visual elements for teaching and learning the discipline.
