 Rating:  - Great for board studyI passed boards on my first try and I think this book is totally what helped me. It is a quick review and is organized well. You will need to supplement areas of the book (just because it may not be clear or you may have some holes in your training) with a more comprehensive resource, but this book will reliably get you through all the important knowledge. I took notes and then reviewed my notes before the exam (<2 mos of prep time)and found that it really helped me keep everything together. ...

That, coupled with the paucity of excellent pedi board review material, led me to use this book in my studying efforts. Other than the name of one bacterium (Moraxella) and the ideal test for CGD, I found few factual errors. ... Read More Rating:  - Way too many errors...I bought this book to take my pediatric boards on the recommendation of several of my co-residents. While the book does a good job of outlining the high-yield topics that you will encounter on the boards, the actual information it provides is not reliable. Several times I encountered errata and had to corroborate the information in Nelson's Textbook of Pediatrics. Additionally, there were so many instances of words misspelled that it became very clear to me that this book was not well edited. Apparently ... Read More
