AB Having  started  my  training  in  pediatrics  at  The  Children's  Hospital  of  Philadelphia,  and  then  continuing  my  training  and  practice  at  other  major  academic  medical  centers,  I  came  to  appreciate  the  premier  care  that  patients  receive  when  knowledge  and  dedication  come  together.  When  I  was  a  young  trainee  at  CHOP,  a  welcomed  resource  to  inpatient  care  was  a  series  of  resident  handouts.  These  were  prepared  by  senior  residents  and  passed  along  from  one  year  to  the  next,  each  senior  class  updating  and  improving  on  the  work  of  their  predecessors.  Twenty-five  years  after  leaving  CHOP,  I  had  the  privilege  to  return  in  a  leadership  role  for  the  Department  of  Pediatrics.  Among  the  many  welcomed  surprises  since  my  return,  I  was  delighted  to  see  the  valued  handouts  that  had  served  me  so  well  as  a  trainee  have  been  developed  into  The  Philadelphia  Guide:  Inpatient  Pediatrics.  The  practical  information  that  guided  me  back  then  is  now  available  in  this  concise  and  well-organized  book.  It  provides  effective  management  of  the  lion's  share  of  patients  admitted  to  the  hospital  and  is  a  reliable  source  for  efficient  and  fact-filled  teaching  on  rounds.
