With Up To Date, DynaMed, etc. there are a lot of resources online for reading in my spare time during residency. That said, if my residency program is still giving book money what should I be getting? I don't imagine I'll need to buy a Nelson's or Rudolph's if I have online resources.
They might have you review out of a Nelsons for group learning, they do at my residency. Other good books:
Everyone needs:
Harriet Lane (if they don't give you one)
Lange Neonatology
Stronlgy consider as references (ideally on an Ipad as they all weight a ton):
Park's Pediatric Cardiology
Essentials of musculoskeletal care
Zitelli's Atlas of Pediatric Physical diagnosis
If you like to learn subjects by reading books cover to cover:
Baby 411 (desigend for parents, was an amazing book for newborn nursery)
Toddler 411 (same idea, but for Peds clinic)
The Pink Panther Book, a guide to diabetes (this is the book they give to new onset type 1 diabetics, its good for getting down the management of diabetes)
Polin and Yoder's neonatology (this is basically case files for Neonatology, the only problem is that the latest version is 2007, which is a little old for neonatology)
Reading Pediatric EKGs
Essential Pediatric Gastroenterology
I'm sure there's more
