Written by Washington University house staff and faculty, this pocket-sized survival guide encapsulates the critical knowledge essential for a successful pediatric residency. Content includes algorithms, useful formulas, patient notes, top ten work-ups, common calls and complaints, key points on most common problems, essentials of "what not to miss" and "when to refer/call for help," and "tricks of the trade."

The book includes chapters on "floor" survival, writing prescriptions, calculating IV fluids and feeds, laboratory reference values, and formulary information. A chapter on adolescent medicine addresses topics such as STDs, eating disorders, and suicide.
