I'm sorry, but this book was not adequate for my shelf exam. It failed to explain concepts adequately and it was far too abbreviated. I suspect it's fine if you do ample supplemental reading, but in general, I would not rely on this book as a sole source for studying pediatrics. I made a review sheet that was more informative than this book.
 One of the best in the series! May 21, 2006

This book is fairly comprehensive and will cover just about everything you will need for the shelf exam at the end of the peds clinical rotation in medical school and for usmle step 2. It is by far one of the best in the Blueprints series. The only other book I used was the "Peditatric Pearls" book which I read and carried with me because of its compact size.
Harriet Lane is not necessary for medical students..more appropriate for residents in pediatrics or those who definitely want to go into pediatrics and doing 4th year electives/acting internships.
Very good! March 6, 2005

This was the first Blueprints i'd used, and i was very impressed. I went through several sections a couple of times over the course of the clerkship and reinforced with pre-test at the end. Covers most topics you need to know without getting verbose. You do need to revisit some topics otherwise you spend so little time reading the subject matter it doesnt stay with you.

As with most of the blueprints series for clinical rotations, the book for Peds is an excellent source to use early on in the rotation to pump knowledge into your brain. Use this text to weave the fabric connecting the entire rotation. Use UpToDate or big, fat peds texts (Nelsons, Rudolphs) to learn specifics about your patients. And finally use a question book (Appleton and Lange, for example) to prepare for the shelf.
The ONLY book to buy for step 2 peds September 19, 2003

this is THE pediatrics book to buy if you are preparing for the step 2. i found the questions asked on the step 2 exam were not as demnading as one may contemplate upon reading this book. Its great if you have the time..(the first reading takes a while)..and some tables (eg baby's milestones table) are very long and boring, sometimes even so detailed that they seem silly for a review book. I had no problems with any pediatrics questions after i read this book.....i got a cool score on the step 2. the other fabulous BluePrints book is the OBG one. DOnt even bother buying any others....
