This book is an effort to aid the students in the learning of practical pediatric medicine in tune with the current thinking and concern of medical educationists, justifiably reflected by the  Medical Council of India. The essential feature of the book is presentation of a specific and appropriate set of questions relating to the presenting symptom/sign, appropriate examination and tests required to come to a logical conclusion towards a diagnosis. A consistent, learner-friendly style has been employed throughout the book, which we feel, will instantly appeal the students and help effective bedside learning of pediatrics.
