Genre: Physicians
ISBN: 9781584090700

This book will help you learn about pathology as well as prepare for the pathology board examination. This book is structured in a question and answer format. This permits the reader to concentrate on areas of interest or weakness. Most of the questions are short with short answers. This facilitates moving through a large body of knowledge. Some of the questions have longer answers. In these situations, the questions were not altered because of the clinically interesting question posed. Certain topics have been repeated in a single chapter and across chapters. This was intentional. Some topics are so important to a practitioner that repetition was utilised as a learning tool. Each question is preceded by two boxes, to permit the reader to check off areas of interest, weakness or simply noting that it had been read. This allows for re-reading without having uncertainty of what was reviewed earlier.
