STEER is a live interactive 6-hour module which Sensitizes the attendee to Think thereby Enabling Excellence and Rationality.
More than 150 such live programs have been conducted so far all over the country and even abroad.
Attendees of these programs requested a print format of the module to help them revise the concepts, which led to the production of this book.
It attempts to reproduce the live interactive program-it tries to create an interaction with the readersby asking questions that are interspersed within the text describing the slides.
Whenever the reader comes to a question, he/she is expected to pause, think, and formulate his/her own answer before going ahead and reading what the authors think is the answer.
Like the live program, the book begins with how one should start with any patient, followed by important principles of history analysis, assessment of growth, fever, cough, and abdominal symptoms.
Other systems like cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine, etc., are covered in the program STEER 2. Look out for the corresponding book "STEER 2" in the future!
