Principles and Practice of Pediatric Endocrinology 1st Edition

?The world of biomedical science is changing as rapidly as it takes for our keystrokes to open a window into cyberspace. Principles, however, remain grounded and provide the basis for learning the new and integrating change into effective, evidence-based, humane medical practice. The editors of Principles and Practice of Pediatric Endocrinology, by its very title, have demonstrated their understanding that while downloads and virtual learning are changing the way the current generation acquires information, a text which translates and transmits that information through the experience and judgment of accomplished physician scientists, has a pivotal role in the education of the practitioner. Drs. Kappy, Allen, and Geffner have assembled such a group of accomplished authors and teachers, and the result is a readable, practical, yet scientifically solid and relevant text that should be a valuable asset for pediatric endocrine subspecialists as well as for pediatricians, family practitioners, and other health care providers who care for children and adolescents.
