Synopsis

This new book uses a problem solving approach to offer a comprehensive review of pediatrics that enables readers to assess their knowledge of current practice. Organized by age of patient, Pediatrics: A Problem Based Review presents case studies that represent over 200 problems facing infants, children and adolescents.

Cases focus on the diagnostic workup and management of the ambulatory and inpatient problems of neonates, infants, toddlers, school age children and adolescent children of both sexes.

Questions mirror the format of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) recertification exam and cover the objectives defined by the ABP and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Readers can assess the effectiveness of their own performance by the options they select and the scores they receive from each response.

Analytic critiques explain the risks or merits of each correct and incorrect response.

Questions are written by more than 100 national leaders in pediatric education.

References direct readers to sources for further study.
