From the publisher

UG Textbook of Pediatrics, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive, competency-based textbook for MBBS students, meticulously restructured as per the Revised Competency-based Medical Education Curriculum (NMC). Written by Piyush Gupta — renowned pediatrician, educator, and former Principal and Professor of Pediatrics at UCMS, New Delhi — this edition brings together a team of expert contributors across 28 core chapters, spanning the entire UG pediatrics syllabus from Normal Growth and Development to Common Emergencies and Poisonings.

The book is fully color coded, with highlighted key information, convenient boxes and tables, clinical management diagrams, algorithms, and color photographs throughout. Treatment sections are visually separated in every condition for quick reference, and a detailed Drug Formulary chapter is included online. Diagnostic-approach flowcharts and comparison tables (for example, differentiating the causes of neonatal bleeding or thrombocytopenia) simplify complex clinical reasoning.

Unique to this book are its Case Studies — scenario-based clinical vignettes drawn from real patient experiences — and "In A Nutshell" revision boxes appended to every chapter, letting a student revise the entire book in as little as one hour. The text is written in simple, concise language with short paragraphs and minimum jargon, keeping the focus on clarity and comprehension. A bundled Dr. Wise AI chatbot access code and the diginerve app (video lectures, question bank, notes) extend learning beyond the printed page.

• MBBS Students: the primary textbook for the full undergraduate pediatrics curriculum, aligned chapter-by-chapter with the NMC Competency-based curriculum.
• Pediatrics Postgraduates (MD/DNB): a quick primer for residents initiating into pediatrics, useful for building foundational clarity before moving to advanced PG references.

• Simplifies the entire NMC pediatrics syllabus: organizes all competency-mapped topics — growth and development, nutrition, immunization, newborn care, systemic disorders, and emergencies — into one structured textbook.
• Speeds up exam revision: "In A Nutshell" boxes at the end of every chapter distill high-yield points so the entire book can be revised in about an hour.
• Builds clinical reasoning: diagnostic flowcharts and condition-comparison tables (e.g., bleeding neonate work-up, thrombocytopenia evaluation) walk students through real diagnostic logic step by step.
• Connects theory to the bedside: case studies based on real patient experiences bridge textbook learning with the practical uncertainties of clinical pediatrics.
• Reduces prep time: color-coded treatment boxes, tables, and algorithms let students locate management protocols instantly instead of hunting through dense text.

• Covers all 28 core NMC-mapped chapters plus 3 additional online-only chapters (Skin Disorders, Ophthalmic Disorders, Drug Therapy)
• Case Studies in every chapter for scenario-based clinical learning
• "In A Nutshell" revision boxes appended to every chapter for 1-hour whole-book revision
• Fully color-coded layout with diagnostic flowcharts, comparison tables, and clinical photographs
• Bundled Dr. Wise AI chatbot access code plus diginerve app (video lectures, question bank, notes)
