Case Files Pediatrics (Lange Case Files)
by: Eugene C. Toy, Robert J. Yetman, Mark D. Hormann

Editorial Review:

The closest you can get to seeing patients without being on the wards!
Students need exposure to cases to pass the USMLE Step 2 and the pediatrics shelf exam. This book presents 55 clinical cases illustrating essential concepts in pediatrics. Perfect for the clerkship and the USMLE Step 2, each case includes an extended discussion, definitions of key terms, clinical pearls, and USMLE-style review questions. This interactive learning system helps you to learn instead of memorize.
*60 pediatric cases with complete discussions
*Clinical pearls highlight key points
*USMLE-style comprehension questions with each case
*Primer on how to approach the pediatric patient
*Proven learning system improves shelf exam scores
Superior to other case file books.

Using clinical scenarios not only makes the reading fun and interesting, but it is far more engaging than sitting down with a bulleted text and reviewing detail after detail. This is a much better way to learn clinical information. I have not read a book like this before, and I certainly have enjoyed it.
--Eric Hossler, Medical Student, James H. Quillen College of Medicine
I LOVED this book! I would recommend this book to all third-year students... The book uses a clinical approach and does not lose sight of the pathophysiology behind the disease -- GREAT preparation for being on the wards! The subject matter is also deceptively detailed, with much more information than one normally finds in a text of case files. The reader can use this book as either a rigorous self-test or a read-through introduction to the subject. Once again - a GREAT text!

So thankful for this series:

This series is great and the peds is an excellent sampling of some common ped's cases with helpful diagrams and pictures in some cases. The style is easily adapted to wards and can be a quick read. This series is not to be used solely on a clinical rotation. Rather it should be used in addition to other supplementary material.

The best thing since sliced bread.:

I wish I had found this book earlier in third year. Like others said, it's easy to read and since it's broken up into 60 chapters (which are each about ~10 minute chunks) it's great when you have little bits of free time throughout the day. Occasionally you'll read something that you'll want to look up elsewhere, but you can definitely use this as your primary textbook. I read this book ALONE, no blueprints, no A&L, no pre-test and my shelf score jumped into the 90's compared to the 50's before. Buy... more info

Best text for shelf exams.:

High yield for shelf exams. THick, but quick and fast read. Borrow a copy. For step 2, use Pre-test pediatrics.

satisfied med student:

Case Files for Pediatrics is an easy-to-read high-yield source to study during the pediatric clerkship or review for Boards. It was a great adjunct for shelf exam preparation.
