Book Description
In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared.
Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“This book is designed to bridge the gap between medical school pathology and residency-level pathology … . is aimed at pathology residents in the early stages of the first year, and the author has done a great job of tailoring it to this audience. … will have great value to an incoming first year resident. … It provides a very clear orientation to pathology of the various organs, orients readers to the microscope and descriptive terms, and gives a primer on immunostains.” (Jonathan Carnell, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)
