What do StepGenie's pediatrics images cover?
Each pediatrics image is a StepGenie infographic drawn for one of its own practice questions. Nearly all of them are age-anchored: the same finding means different things at two weeks, two years and twelve years, and the panel makes that dependence explicit.
Congenital and developmental anomalies lead this set, followed by bacterial infections, bone and joint injuries and infections, viral infections, congenital heart disease, intestinal and colorectal disorders, and ear, nose and throat disease. Neurodevelopmental disorders, red cell disorders, nutrition and normal behavior and development fill in the rest.
Age is the discriminator in most pediatric questions, so the images are drawn around it. A vomiting-in-the-newborn panel separates pyloric stenosis from malrotation and from duodenal atresia by the age at presentation and the character of the vomit before anything else is considered, which is the sequence that gets the answer right. The developmental milestone panels serve a different purpose: they give a reference you can check a vignette against without having to recall an entire chart.
Because pediatrics is filed as a discipline, its images also appear under the organ system each question belongs to. Congenital heart lesions, for example, show up here and under cardiology.
Vaccination schedule and newborn screening panels are reference material rather than drills. Use them to check an answer you were unsure of, not as something to work through from beginning to end in one sitting.
Topics in this set
Labels are the question-bank topics these images are filed under. Step 1 and Step 2 file some of the same material under different names, so a few labels here merge both.
