Book Description

March 6, 2008 0387744851 978-0387744858 1

In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared.

Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"This book is designed to bridge the gap between medical school pathology and residency-level pathology … . is aimed at pathology residents in the early stages of the first year, and the author has done a great job of tailoring it to this audience. … will have great value to an incoming first year resident. … It provides a very clear orientation to pathology of the various organs, orients readers to the microscope and descriptive terms, and gives a primer on immunostains." (Jonathan Carnell, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)

In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. The pathology intern often comes into residency painfully unprepared. The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A beginner’s guide to the Diagnostic Process lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for pathology residents!, August 29, 2009
By 
Poppycock (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process (Hardcover)
This is the most high-yield, readable book available for path residents. i recently finished my residency in California and this book would've made a huge difference in my education. It is organized by organ system (29 chapters) and has 15-18 excellent high-quality photomicrographs in ea chapter. Has over 30 photos in skin and bone/soft tissue chapters. Most photos also include labels so you know what you're looking at!

It includes an outstanding chapter on the placenta (the best overview i have ever read). Also a ch. on how to sign-out "Ditzels" those small benign specimens that beginners can get hung up on, like cholesteatomas. Also includes lymph node and bone marrow chapters.

It contains a lot of good foundation and pearls of information that will make your sign-out sessions 10x more effective for learning.

It acknowledges a lot of the quirky nomenclature issues and makes them clearly understandable. For ex., non-invasive urothelial vs invasive urothelial carcinomas vs carcinoma in-situ. The author(s) also spend time clarifying confusing neuroendocrine issues/terminology, like PNETs and lung vs GI vs pancreatic sign-outs.

It answers a ton of questions that i thought confusing, but seemed too trivial or stupid to ask.

The only thing missing is a chapter on thymomas. Otherwise, this book is perfect for residents!

This review is from: The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process (Hardcover)
Excellent book. A must have for first year pathology residents! If you're buried under large textbooks and don't know where to go, buy this book. The chapters are concise and easy to read. The pictures are clear with arrows and circles highlighting the important cells/areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, December 16, 2008
This review is from: The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process (Hardcover)
I'm in second year of my pathology residence and this book is very useful for me. It was written in the same style, as books of "...for dummies" series - simple, but not primitive and very informative.
All illustrations are of very good quality (unlike Robbins and Cotran's) and, what is very important for novice - all have arrows, arrowheads and other indicators of "where to look".
Of course, this book is NOT enough to pass exams or to work as pathologist, but it is very book for beginnersnin pathology
