Top Baby of the Month

Pediatric Blog

Top Papers Of The Month provides summaries of articles published in various journals (ones you may not receive or don’t have time to read) that have important implications for primary care pediatricians. For the past 6 years, the column has been authored by Series Editor Charles A. Pohl, MD and Larissa Hirsch, MD. I was thrilled to learn that Dr Hirsch recently gave birth. While she is enjoying this special time with her newborn, I thought it would be nice to celebrate her past contributions to Consultant For Pediatricians. Here you will find a complete archive of Top Papers Of The Month. 

As you scroll through the Top Papers articles, maybe there is one—or more than one—that you could say did have an impact on your daily practice. If so, I would love to know which article and how it made a difference. Feel free to add a comment below or email "Editorial" at: http://www.pediatricsconsultant360.com/contact_us.  Happy reading!
