Editorial Review: Product Description: Like other titles in the Board Review Series, BRS Pediatrics is designed to offer students a strong foundation for subsequent learning in both primary care and subspecialty pediatrics. BRS Pediatrics features:
You'll find that BRS Pediatrics will be an indispensable resource for the pediatric rotation, the end of rotation exam, and the USMLE Step 2. Average Rating:
 Rating: - ComprehensiveThis book is truly wonderful! It is set up well and really covers every topic. I've also heard that some of the boards questions came out of this book! A great prep for the pediatric NP boards exam. Rating:  - Good in terms of review, but not on its ownAlmost all testable, high-yield points are highlighted, which is unique to BRS. However, the sections on cardiology and neonatology are probably too brief and simple for clerkship; also, the dermatology section doesn't contain any pictures, which could be quite a problem when a pictorial review is desired. This book is best when combined with blueprints pediatrics, which sort of remedies its shortcomings. Rating: - Best peds book I have seen so far, to cover this expansive subject in 600 pages.I've used multiple pediatrics book either as a main studying source or reference guide, and this book for both causes is invaluable. It's not Nelson or Rudolph but are you going to read those books anyway during your peds rotation? comparing to Nelson's essential or other concise books out there like Blueprints or NMS I'd go with this book in a heartbeat. It covers such vast topics in Peds that almost every time I was able to find my answers in it. I wish it's going to be second edition or multiple ... Read More Rating: - Very comprehensive bookThis book is very well-written and flows quite smoothly --- there's not so much of the choppy, outline-ish feeling found in other books of the BRS series. Keep in mind that it's 600 pages long, so you'll need to budget your time accordingly. It took me the full 6 weeks of my pediatrics rotation to get through the book. The questions at the end of each chapter (and in the comprehensive exam) are challenging, but they'll prepare you well for the end-of-rotation exam. Highly recommended! Rating: - BRS Pediatrics, Lloyd J. Brown, Lee T. MillerBest review book to prepare for the subject for USMLE. Comprehensive and detailed. Explained some concepts I couldn't find the explanation for in any other textbook. Lots of useful tables and charts. Much better than Pediatrics by Blueprints Series. Don't miss this book if you want a great score in this subject.
