Pedia Practical Book

MBBS Pediatrics PDF

Pediatrics, once considered a subgroup of medicine, has now developed into a distinct specialism. This book has been designed to provide a concise resource for busy medical students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, focusing on the practical aspects of pediatrics.

The content is organized into three sections. Section I provides fundamental knowledge related to pediatric history, examination, and symptomatology. Section II highlights systemic examination and general examination cases. Section III covers drugs, X-rays, and equipment.

The essence of learning pediatrics lies in dedicated work in hospital wards. There is no substitute for this practical experience, and there are no shortcuts. The primary goal of this book is to assist medical students in their ward duties, serving as a complementary resource rather than a replacement for practical ward work.
