Customer Reviews

Great Guidebook. A must have guide during your clinical rotation...

I personally like this book, it gives you lots of pearls in pediatric medicine. It is easy to read and it provides you with to the point explanations. It also makes a great quick reference. There are other more thorough references but I like the quick review this book provides. Easy to carry with you during your rotation and access before you present your case to your preceptor. It's a must have for all students. Your preceptors will think that you are so smart! But remember to read your textbook reference for more in depth knowledge!!!
