The Blueprints Series has been developed to enable the reader to review the core material in each discipline quickly and efficiently. The topics for each subject were chosen from an analysis of over 2000 representative review questions from the USMLE Steps 2 & 3. The book is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather a composition of the "high-yield" topics that consistently appear on these exams. The material in these books is presented either as a workup of a symptom or as a discussion of a particular disease or pathological process. This format has been chosen to compliment the style of questions on the USMLE Steps 2 & 3. The books will prove useful to all medical students during their clerkships and sub-internships.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Quick for on-the-wards reference and test review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blueprints in Pediatrics (Paperback)
"Blueprints" is a terrific book for medical student use during a basic or advanced rotation in pediatrics, written by Pediatric residents at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Although it's certainly not exhaustive, the book provides a brief (usually 2-3 pages) discussion of a disease, its presentation, the differential diagnosis, and its treatment. The text is often in easy-to-skim bullet format, with illustrative tables/x-rays accompanying it. I read this book as I went through my rotation, and then when the test came along, it was a nice one-day review--I'm saving it for the USMLE step 2!

Quite good review for Step 2, and excellent for the wards.,

This review is from: Blueprints in Pediatrics (Paperback)
This book helped me score well on the Step 2 exam; I did particularly well on the peds section and I'm not going into that specialty! The book has too much detail in some chapters, but overall it's an excellent review. It goes well with the other blueprints books, particularly medicine and surgery. Ironically, this book helped me understand many adult diseases too! Well worth a buy.

Blueprints is Basic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blueprints in Pediatrics (Paperback)
Blueprints in Pediatrics is definitely a quick read. Good for preparing brief presentations and boning up on important topics. However, it is NOT a good prep for the boards. Much too basic. However, I recommend carrying it around for reading when you have breaks throughout the day while on your Pediatrics rotation.
