Broad scope: nearly 200 chapters cover physical growth and development, examination and laboratory screening, sexual development, puberty, obesity, sleep disorders, adolescent dermatology and much more. Clear management guidelines provide step-by-step recommendations: What to do, How to do it; When to admit, When to treat, When to refer. Evidence-based approach: treat patients and counsel parents with high confidence. Excellent study reference for the pediatric or internal medicine boards. Integrated companion resources: use with complementary AAP resources: AAP Textbook of Pediatric Care, Tools for Practice, and Pediatric Care Online. - Publisher.
