Core Pathology

British Medical Association Book Awards 2009 - Highly Commended, Basic and Clinical Sciences

The new edition of this text helps you make the most of your study time by focusing on only the core basics of pathology needed for course work or exams...while avoiding in-depth details. Nearly 800 full-color, generously sized clear illustrations help bring the subject to life and aid in memorization. User-friendly features—including clinical correlation and differential diagnosis boxes—help make the material more relevant, while an increased emphasis on clinical medicine and a new self-assessment section prepare you for real-life practice. Online access to Student Consult—where you’ll find tools including a virtual microscope feature and USMLE-style questions—further enhances your study and exponentially boosts your reference power.

"This book is well written, with the end result being concise and succinct whilst never dry. It is user-friendly in terms of clearly denoting sub-topics, layering detail into basics, core text and using boxes appropriately for extra information. The use of diagrams is well judged, enhancing the reader’s overall impression of the topic. The information is put into a context that can aid the reader to formulate a well thought out differential diagnosis/use a surgical sieve to good effect."
