Using a practical, case-based presentation, Pediatric Diagnostic
Medicine helps you develop diagnostic skills, gain further knowledge
through interesting cases, and improve critical thinking to reach a
correct diagnosis. Dr. Andrew J. White, vice chair of education and
director of the residency program at Washington University in St. Louis,
presents dozens of real-world cases highlighted by full-color
photographs. This unique case collection is an invaluable resource for
pediatricians, residents, hospitalists, physician assistants, nurse
practitioners, and anyone who provides care to children.

finishing each case with teaching points.
