An essential, system-by-system guide to the clinical examination of children, within the postgraduate exam context.

• systems approach - ensures inclusive coverage of all important syndromes

• includes throughout tips for handling examiners and dealing with uncooperative children in the exam setting - provides the reassurance that exam candidates need

• improved layout and style - more headings and subheadings, bullet points and boxes - the layout before was old-fashioned and not very user-friendly

• 50 new illustrations and flow diagrams - to improve appearance and aid learning

• new, very keen author (Waring) has joined the team for this edition, bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm and recent experience of sitting the exam - should ensure that the book is much more relevant and attractive to read and learn from

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

Written for pediatricians in training, this volume doubles as a guide to the clinical examination of children and as a study guide for preparation for postgraduate exams. The material appears in outline form, with chapters covering specific biological systems, common exam syndromes, the neonate, and the oral examination. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
