It is written primarily by distinguished Cleveland Clinic faculty who conduct the Cleveland Clinic Foundation's successful and popular annual Pediatric Board Review Symposium. The book is organized into subspecialty sections, each of which ends with a board simulation chapter. Chapters include numerous bulleted lists, tables, and illustrations. Two mock board exams appear at the end of the book. This edition includes more dermatology and cardiology information and more full-color dermatology and ophthalmology illustrations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent review bookI purchased 6 different review books, and this was hands-down my favorite. It is very clearly written, and it provides a bit of background/pathophys to help things make sense but then focuses on what is most important to know. It is true that it is not complete (and I can't help thinking that the ideal peds board review book has yet to be written), but no review book will be--there is enough info in here, and it is sufficiently focused on what is important for the Boards, that if you learn what's ...

Rating: - Most bang for your buckHaving just taken my board exam, I can see that this book had the most bang for the buck. No other review sources gives you pictures, radiographs, graphs, EKGs and questions in a single book. And the content is definitely representative of the exam -- I recognized one picture because it came directly from this text! The questions in this book very similar to the actual exam, including those pesky "all of these are true EXCEPT" questions. There are detailed explanations provided for the ... Read More Rating:  - Honestly, I wouldn't take this book for freeThis book is billed as a study guide for the boards. I am basing my review on this fact. If you are a medical student then this may be a sufficient pediatric source. Maybe... I thought the Cleveland Clinic name would give this book some essence of quality. But I was sorely disappointed. I am currently studying for the pediatric boards, and I have found this book to be the most useless of all my sources. I will cite some examples here, but to enumerate all the faults would take too long. ... Read More Rating:  - Concise Review Book is a Great first start!This is a new book, published in 2003, a companion of sorts to the Intensive Review of Internal Medicine built as a study guide for the Pediatrics Board Exams. The book is broken down into 5 major categories, including General Pediatrics, GI, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Neonatology, Cardiology, Allergy, Neurology and Child Development, Genetic and Metabolic Diseases, Adolescent Medicine, Infectious dissease and Immunology, Hematology-Oncology, Pediatric Surgery and Board Simulation.
