ABP Pediatric Endocrinology study plan

Build a one-page decision algorithm for short stature that sequences history, growth velocity, bone age, IGF-1, and GH stimulation testing

Differentiate constitutional delay, familial short stature, and GH deficiency across 10 growth-curve cases using bone age and calculated height velocity

Interpret provocation test results and state the counseling points and contraindications before starting GH therapy

Map each anterior pituitary hormone deficit to its neonatal and childhood presenting signs, including hypoglycemia, micropenis, prolonged jaundice, and midline defects

Calculate height SDS and annualized growth velocity from raw measurements without a calculator aid

Convert between insulin regimens and calculate total daily dose, correction factor, and insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio for 10 pediatric scenarios

Classify hypoglycemia by critical-sample pattern in 12 vignettes, separating ketotic, hypoketotic, hyperinsulinemic, and metabolic causes

Compare newborn screening thresholds, confirmatory testing, and levothyroxine starting and titration decisions in congenital hypothyroidism

Interpret thyroid panels that show sick euthyroid pattern, central hypothyroidism, and thyroiditis

Sequence DKA management from fluid initiation through insulin timing and cerebral edema warning signs

Stage puberty and separate normal variants such as premature adrenarche or gynecomastia from true precocious and delayed puberty

Interpret basal LH, GnRH stimulation results, and bone age across 10 puberty vignettes

Work through congenital adrenal hyperplasia end to end: 17-OHP interpretation, salt-wasting versus simple virilizing forms, glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid dosing, and stress dosing

Evaluate adrenal insufficiency using cosyntropin stimulation, renin, and aldosterone results while distinguishing primary from secondary causes

Interpret combined calcium, phosphorus, PTH, and vitamin D panels to separate hypoparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism, nutritional rickets, and renal phosphate wasting

Apply a rickets workup plus a treatment and monitoring plan, including when to recheck radiographs and laboratory values

Order a DSD evaluation sequence covering karyotype, pelvic imaging, hormone panel, and timing of gonadal and surgical decisions

Distinguish Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, 46,XY DSD, and 46,XX virilization by presentation and first-line testing

Calculate and interpret serum and urine osmolality with paired sodium values to separate SIADH, diabetes insipidus, and cerebral salt wasting, and plan a water deprivation or desmopressin test

Recognize MEN1, MEN2, von Hippel-Lindau, and tuberous sclerosis by their endocrine features and list the recommended screening schedule for each

Stage pediatric obesity with a comorbidity screening panel and draft a motivational interviewing plan for one case

Interpret lipid panels using familial hypercholesterolemia criteria and state when statin therapy is appropriate in a child

Apply inheritance vocabulary such as penetrance, imprinting, mosaicism, and mitochondrial transmission to endocrine vignettes

Re-drill every growth, GH, diabetes, and hypoglycemia item from the running error log until each is answered correctly twice

Perform pediatric endocrine calculations under time pressure: insulin total daily dose, correction dose, glucose infusion rate, IV fluid rate, and GH dosing

Complete two 30-question timed blocks drawn from the heaviest domains and review all misses the same day

Teach two concepts aloud from memory, GH stimulation testing and the hypoglycemia critical sample, then check the explanation against source notes

Manage thyroid emergencies and post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia, writing the acute medication sequence for each

Interpret thyroid antibodies, nodule ultrasound features, and biopsy thresholds, and outline the basics of differentiated thyroid cancer management

Write acute treatment algorithms for severe hypercalcemia and symptomatic hypocalcemia in a child

Identify red flags for osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, and skeletal dysplasias in a child with fractures or short stature

Separate central from nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and apply SIADH management, including safe limits on sodium correction rate

Link pituitary imaging findings, including microadenoma, craniopharyngioma, and Rathke cleft cyst, with the expected hormone deficits

Complete two full-length timed exams under test-day conditions and review every missed item to a stated rationale

Finalize one high-yield summary sheet for each of the ten domains
