Using symptom-based and problem-based approaches, this indispensable text teaches medical students how to apply critical thinking and clinical reasoning to develop diagnostic competence. It is also suitable for any doctor who wishes to refresh his/her clinical approaches to pediatric patients.

  • Understanding the correct definition of the clinical problem
  • Recognizing the symptoms of the clinical problem
  • Analyzing the pathophysiology behind the problem
  • Creating a prioritized list of differential diagnosis
  • Having a robust clinical approach/algorithm that enables one to arrive at the correct diagnosis
  • Evaluating for red flag signs and symptoms
  • Honing the thought process through the use of over 50 clinical case scenarios with structured self-reflection questions and answers
