Sixty high-yield pediatrics cases helps students sharpen their diagnostic and problem-solving skills

The Case Files series is an award-winning learning system proven to improve shelf-exam scores and clerkship performance. Unlike other books on the market, this series helps students learn in the context of real patients instead of simply memorizing. Case Files Pediatrics teaches students how to improve their diagnostic and problem-solving skills as they work through sixty high-yield clinical cases. Each case includes a complete discussion, clinical pearls, references, and USMLE-style review questions with answers. The fifth edition has been updated to include a new Case Correlations feature which highlights differential diagnosis and related cases in the book.

Customer Reviews

So thankful for this series

This series is great and the peds is an excellent sampling of some common ped's cases with helpful diagrams and pictures in some cases. The style is easily adapted to wards and can be a quick read. This series is not to be used solely on a clinical rotation. Rather it should be used in addition to other supplementary material.

The best thing since sliced bread.

I wish I had found this book earlier in third year. Like others said, it's easy to read and since it's broken up into 60 chapters (which are each about ~10 minute chunks) it's great when you have little bits of free time throughout the day. Occasionally you'll read something that you'll want to look up elsewhere, but you can definitely use this as your primary textbook. I read this book ALONE, no blueprints, no A & L, no pre-test and my shelf score jumped into the 90's compared to the 50's before. Buy this book, it's absolutely money.

Best text for shelf exams.

High yield for shelf exams. THick, but quick and fast read. Borrow a copy. For step 2, use Pre-test pediatrics.

satisfied med student

Case Files for Pediatrics is an easy-to-read high-yield source to study during the pediatric clerkship or review for Boards. It was a great adjunct for shelf exam preparation.

Excellent light read for Step 2 CK

I started using Case Files halfway through my 3rd year as it was gaining popularity. My shelf grades soared with this light reading. Unfortunately, I had pediatrics before I learned about the Case Files series. So, for Step 2, I needed a good review source. I read this in 2 days and peds was one of my best sections on Step 2. I can't stress enough how the layout of this series lends to a high yield review that doesn't take extreme concentration. This series is almost all you need for third year!
