A knowledge and understanding of disease processes is essential for effective surgical practice and all surgeons in training are required to exhibit this understanding throughout the examinations leading to the MRCS/AFRCS. In particular, trainees need to have a comprehensive knowledge of systemic pathology, especially in those body systems in which they will later become specialists.



The terse and succinct approach used in Synopsis of Systemic Pathology for Surgeons goes straight to the essential facts which the trainee surgeon needs in order to succeed in the Basic Surgical Training element of postgraduate surgical training. Written by a surgeon and two pathologists, this small book is a vital source of information presented in a forthright and accessible manner.
