Preface

Pediatrics is evolving with new advancements in knowledge, research, and technology, making it challenging to keep up-to-date with current information. This concise and comprehensive volume provides a review of the latest advances and current literature in Pediatrics, so health professionals can get a summarized overview of the different subspecialties in Pediatrics. Update in Pediatrics includes chapters ranging from traditional disciplines such as Infectious Disease and Cardiology, to more current disciplines such as Adolescent Medicine and Child Maltreatment. The target audience for this book includes any practitioner who cares for children, including pediatricians, family doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners, allied health professionals, and health researchers. My hope is that Update in Pediatrics will serve as a valuable resource for the busy clinician who wishes to stay up-to-date with the latest advances in the field. ON, Canada
