Reseñas

Review of the previous edition:
“The layout and attention to detail in this unofficial guide is a tremendous asset for aspiring paediatricians as well as for those professionals interested in community child health.” --Professor Anthony Costello FMedSci.

“Unofficial Guide to Paediatrics" is a textbook that in format and content emphases key concepts in background knowledge and clinical care, targeted at medical students and early career paediatric trainees.
