5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Comprehensive Review
Reviewed in the United States on 23 June 2014
Verified Purchase
I got this in the last two weeks of my pediatrics clerkship, and the bottom line is that I'd wish I'd had it the entire time. I used significant portions of Pretest, Case Files, and First Aid for Step 2 for this rotation as well, and BRS combined the best of all of them, in my opinion.

Here's what I love about it:
- Leaves nothing out. It's meant to be a complete package and it succeeds. Case Files does it's best to cover everything by working outlying issues into semi-related cases, but some information still falls through the cracks. In BRS, it's all there as you go through it
- Incredibly organized. I think this is the main strength of BRS. You can go through whichever topics you want, as in depth as you want making it perfect for both learning and review. Resources like Pretest and Case Files have little, if any organization, and are somewhat difficult to use for anything other than learning exactly the way it's presented.
- Quality questions. The questions are superb, and with nearly 400 questions that are tied into the information presented, Pretests 500 questions (and questions only) seem pretty superfluous.

Remember, pediatrics is a massive subject, and BRS is a large, dense book by necessity. But it's an easy read and the impeccable organization allows you to go shallower on subjects that you feel confident on.

Do yourself a favor and get this at the beginning of you pediatrics rotation. You won't regret using it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly comprehensive guide that you can use as a backbone for studying for the Peds shelf
Reviewed in the United States on 11 August 2017
Verified Purchase
PROS:
/+/ Covers the majority of the information that is on the shelf for the Peds clerkship.
/+/ Relatively streamlined presentation of information - while it's still a fairly lengthy read, it's definitely doable during the Peds clerkship if you read a little bit each day.
/+/ Well-organized. I appreciate the way the chapters were divided, as I thought that it made sense and made it easier to pick certain topics to focus on (for example, I was able to read the Emergency Medicine chapter before my Peds ED portion of the clerkship).

CONS:
/-/ The book is old, with the first edition (which I was I bought, and until I went to review I had no idea that an updated edition was on the way) being released in 2004. Some of the information is obviously outdated as a result. Does that matter for the shelf (which is composed of questions that are several years old and have been phased out of the Step 2 CK bank)? Probably not overall - there may be some discrepancies here and there, but nothing major as far as I could tell. Just don't expect it to be suitable for actual clinical decision making on the wards, though you should probably say the same about any test-prep review book.

For what it's worth, I read BRS, did UWorld, did parts of PreTest, and watched the OnlineMedEd videos to prepare for the shelf. I didn't do the end of chapter questions in BRS as I found them to be less helpful than UWorld or PreTest, but if you're looking for additional questions it's an added bonus. Overall, I'd recommend BRS for anyone in the Peds clerkship. It'll work better for people who prefer reading about material first and then doing questions (rather than learning from doing questions alone), but I could still see it being useful even for the latter type of student if they also like to have something where they can look up more shelf-relevant information about a particular disease (similar to how most people use First Aid when Step studying).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book for Clerkship. Good review before internship.
Reviewed in the United States on 27 July 2012

I am now an intern in Pediatrics and use this book for brief review and general knowledge from time to time; however when I was studying for the shelf exam, I found this book late and was only able to selectively read through about half of the content. It was dead on with high yield topics! I made note cards off the high yield information to help digest the information, because let's face it, reading outlines of information is not entertaining but more efficient than reading paragraphs full of fluff. This helped me to score extremely high on the shelf; all thanks to this book. If you are a 3rd year medical student, I HIGHLY recommend this book without reservation, even if it is the only book you will use. I lent it to my friends when they did their Peds rotation; and although they hated Peds, they still did very well on the shelf! Compared to Pretest, High Yield, etc... no other book compares.

5.0 out of 5 stars the information in it is so well put together that I would have to recommend this book to anyone & everyone
Reviewed in the United States on 6 January 2015

I used this book along with UWORLD questions for my 6 week pediatrics rotation. I got through it one time and did all of the questions, then took about a week to go back through and read over what I highlighted, along with some of the tables that were helpful (for example, types of congenital heart disease). I scored an 89 raw on the pediatrics shelf exam. I need to stress that this was *WAY* higher than my other shelf grades up to this point. Although this book is old & takes substantial time to labor through, the information in it is so well put together that I would have to recommend this book to anyone & everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, but not a great learning tool
Reviewed in the United States on 7 May 2017

Yes it supposedly the gold standard and the comprehensive Pediatrics book but it's too wordy and detailed. Similar to Step Up to Medicine for IM, this book can actually reduce your shelf score if you try to memorize it. Stick to UWorld, Case Files, and PreTest unless you've got free time to read it cover to cover in a quiet environment.
