Pediatric Hospital Medicine: A Case-Based Educational Guide

This educational guide provides a much-needed subspeciality-specific  learning resource for pediatric hospital medicine. Featuring 50 of the  most commonly presenting topics encountered by pediatric hospitalists,  this book brings readers into the morning meeting and walks them through  patient presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and resolution, providing  realistic examples in an engaging case-based format.

This book is  designed to supplement the educational experience of trainees during  their inpatient pediatrics rotation, and its versatility allows it to be  used as an educational guide to lead learning sessions or as an  individual resource or study guide.

Each chapter dives into an  individual case that is titled with a fictitious patient name, often  related to the case topic, which provides a helpful memory tool for  learners. Each case includes a Documentation Tips section, designed to  ensure accurate and clear communication across the interdisciplinary  team that cares for hospitalized children, as well as Clinical Pearls  summarizing the main chapter take-aways.

Back to Basics boxes are  included in cases as needed, to serve as a refresher of examination  techniques, laboratory test result analysis, or other foundational  information related to the cases.

In addition, Health Equity  Focus boxes related to social determinants of health are featured  throughout the book to help clinicians recognize and address potential  inequities in care.
