Summary:

This comprehensive board review book prepares pediatric residents, fellows, and practitioners for the pediatric ID board exam, which is given every other year. Each chapter begins with a short summary and contain 15-20 questions with detailed explanations and suggested readings. Written as a complement to the main Moffet's, the board review book's contents are structured in a similar fashion. The review book also includes two new chapters on the principles of immunization and use of antimicrobial agents, which are increasingly important topics in pediatrics and general infectious disease prevention. While the subspecialty itself is small, general pediatricians see a range of infectious disease on a regular basis. Additionally, infectious disease makes up 7% of the general pediatrics board exam, more than any other topic besides wellness and prevention. Provided by publisher.

Until now, review and preparation for the pediatric infectious diseases board exam could be costly, time-consuming, and generic in its approach. Moffet's Board Review for Pediatric Infectious Diseases offers pediatric residents, fellows, and practitioners a new, effective method of study that's both affordable and self-paced. This first-of-its-kind review tool prepares you for the board exam and for the challenges you'll encounter in taking care of children with infections. Each chapter begins with a short overview, followed by 15-20 case-based questions, detailed explanations of correct and incorrect answers, and carefully chosen suggested readings.Answers and explanations are given in an easy-to-read bulleted format.Complete coverage of organ systems and syndromes, as well as the principles of immunization and the use of antimicrobial agents.Written by an author of Moffet's Pediatric Infectious Diseases and following the same syndrome-based organization for a more intuitive, problem-solving approach.Enhance Your eBook Reading Experience:Read directly on your preferred device(s), such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.
