The gynecologic needs of younger patients are variable and
complex

Clinicians are often uncomfortable with the gynecologic concerns
of young girls and developing women. How can I
put the patient at ease? What are the rights of the patient and her
parents? How do I ask the questions in a way that allows her to
trust me so that I can better understand her medical and social
situation?



In Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, Dr Hillard has
designed a new textbook that puts the patient at the center. It
follows the patient's life and her changing needs as she
matures. An emphasis on effective, patient-friendly encounters is
the prelude to a sensitive clinical approach to intimate,
potentially awkward, clinical challenges. Short, practical chapters
provide guidance on the issues rather than an academic
treatise.



This 'in the office' guide to effective patient care
is informed by evidence-based practice and backed by a wealth of
practical features:



* Algorithms and guidelines to most effective approaches

* 'Tips and Tricks' boxes so you can improve you
clinical outcomes

* 'Caution' warning boxes so you can avoid
complications

* 'Science Revisited' boxes give a quick
reminder of the basic science principles



Dr Hillard has assembled an expert group of authors to provide
straightforward guidance to caring for and reassuring your younger
patients and their parents. If you provide clinical care to girls
and young women then Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology is
designed for you.
