"The Second New Near"
Editors: Robert J. Haggerty, MD.
With this volume, Pediatrics In Review begins its second year of publication with the new format and with most of the material being based on the core content statements developed by the American Board of Pediatrics that are the basis of the examination for renewal of certification. Of the more than 3800 such statements so far developed, we covered more than 1000 in 1992 and, more important, more than 300 of the 900 from which the 1993 examination will be based. By mid-1993, Pediatrics in Review plus the self assessment part of PREP will have covered almost all of these core content statements, thereby enabling those who are preparing for the examination to be well-prepared.
