Synopsis:

The all-new Succinct Pediatrics takes a very direct and practical approach to the concerns paediatricians face on a daily basis. It features a heavy focus on the evaluation and management process of pediatric care, and the process by which physicians come to the various clinical decisions they make. This attention on medical decision-making as well as featured ‘Levels of Evidence’ which rate the various treatment courses, further integrates the practice of evidence-based medicine into daily care.
