What People Are Saying

"This pediatric reference is invaluable for pediatricians, pediatric nurse practitioners, family physicians and medical students among others. Each topic is presented in a concise, clear and useful manner. Another impressive aspect is including a case study at the beginning of every chapter with resolution at the end. This is incredibly helpful to attract the students attention. I certainly will change my lecture style and start every lecture by a case study. I am always looking for something new to improve my teaching style."

Louay K. Nassri, MD, FAAP, FCCP

“I found the textbook useful for referencing different aspects of pediatrics. It was easy to read, and I imagine it to be so for various level of learners from medical student, to resident, to attendings. I also liked the introductory case followed by its conclusion at the end of each chapter.”

Dr Christine Thang, UCLA, Clinical Instructor, General Pediatrics
