Anatomic pathology coverage includes general pathology, cytopathology, autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. Clinical pathology coverage includes immunology, medical microbiology (bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasitology), transfusion medicine, hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, and molecular pathology and genetics. Many of the questions are accompanied by full-color images.

A companion Website will include the fully searchable text, a question bank, and an image bank.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wish there were better things out there:(, August 19, 2009

There are very few q-bank type resources for studying for the path boards. Out of the ones that I have seen, Lefkovich seems the most helpful. This book has a lot of good questions, but I give it 3 stars for 2 very big flaws.
1. It has sooo many mistakes! Sorry, but when you're studying for boards, you don't have the time to look up every single question in reference books and make sure it is correct.
2. The answers are so superficial. Sometimes, they don't even explain why the answer is what it is!
I have not used the online question bank that comes with the book, but that is an added resource. I don't know why people put books out there without proofreading them thoroughly. Just in the cytology chapter alone, I must have caught about 10-15 mistakes!

I wish someone would make an amazing resource for board study! We just don't seem to have one in Path.

As other reviewers have commented, this book has extensive errors, both typographical and content related. I contacted the publisher, and they not only refused to let me return the book, but they didn't even seem to CARE that I had found so many mistakes. A truly disappointing purchase.
