Great Resource

This product came in great shape. It is not a requirement for my nurse practitioner peds class, but a recommendation. I already have the adult version of this book and love it so I can't wait to start using the peds version.

15 Minute Pediatric Consult review

The book has very concise, helpful information about pediatric diseases, diagnosis, tests, differential diagnosis, clinical pearls, and frequently asked questions regarding the disease.

A Must for Practitioners of Pediatrics!

The 5-minute pediatric consult is written in an easy to read outline format. The writers have eliminated unnecesary obscure data and offer a concise outline of all major pediatric diseases. The topics are designed to be read in 5 minutes or less and all the up to date information to diagnose and treat a specific illness is included. The topics are alphabetized, so they are easy to look up. The writers are accomplised experts in their fields and the book has been edited by the distinguished Dr. Schwartz, at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. As a professor of Pediatrics, I highly recommend this book to practicing pediatricians, family practitioners, nurses and students.

an excellent quick reference for most of what i want to know

love the format. listed alphabetically, the items are presented in a easy to read format. Just about all I want to know about the problem when working in a busy office. I can read more later but this gets the job done. an excellent 90's type of book. where is the CD?

Thorough, quick, excellant reference tool

As a pediatric nurse,I really love this book!! Many times, quick reference books are not thorough enough. This one is. I've used it many times as a teaching tool with parents.
