Editorial Reviews

Review

"Although written and intended for medical students, the book also would be useful to residents early in training (including those in pathology or laboratory medicine), or any healthcare providers in practice who want a quick review and refresher course in pathology. The author is an authority in pathology." - Valerie L Ng, PhD MD(Alameda County Medical Center/Highland Hospital), Doody's Review --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asking the right questions leads to learning, July 16, 2003

By 

dan mulligan (Toledo, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pathology Secrets (Paperback)

Finally a book that asks only the questions you need to know. Finally a book that ignores unnecessary details and instead focuses on practical knowledge. This book is for anyone who has ever sifted through a huge pathology textbook wondering what is important. Finally a patholigist and teacher lays out what is important. In addtion to pathology, this book is great for genetics, biochem, endocrinology, and pathophysiology. If you can learn what is in these pages you will have the base you need to answer any USMLE question and you will amaze your residents in year three as you show a broad based knowledge of disease that you can actually use.

This review is from: Pathology Secrets E-Book (Kindle Edition)

Excellent book to review your knowledge or outline study objectives. Detailed enough not to refer to a bigger textbook, concise enough to keep reading without being overwhelmed.

This review is from: Pathology Secrets: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)

Generally speaking the book is useful and it might be an excellent help for teachers. It wood be the best if the book will contain more questions and answers about Clinic Pathology and Laboratory analysis. It wood be evn better if correlated with clinical cases, from the simpler to the more complicated. few questions should be of pure reasoning in Medicine and related subjects. In any case thank to the authors for the excellent effort.
