Textbooks

The Pediatric Database is an encyclopedic reference containing over 500 Pediatric diagnoses. Each is discussed in an outline form using Nelson's Textbook of Pediatrics as a source.

 Common Simple Emergencies is a site promoting this handbook. There are links to some sample discussions which are useful.


Articles and Research

 The Journal of Pediatrics is one of the most, if not the most, prestigious journals in the field. The site has links to abstracts of recent articles.

Then, there is the American Academy of Pediatrics' journal, Pediatrics.

The Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine is a publication of the AMA. Formerly known as The American Journal of Diseases of Childhood (AJDC) this journal holds a special place in my heart having published some of my stuff.
