This title was part of the 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. It has 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.
