This top-selling title is now in its Second Edition. An excellent preparatory review for course exams or the USMLE Step 1, the chapters parallel most standard pathology texts plus provide a review test at the end of each chapter. Topics covered include general and basic pathology, major concepts of disease processes, and systemic pathology surveying principal disorders of each organ system. A comprehensive examination at the end of the book contains 500 questions in USMLE format. New features include key associations throughout the text that emphasize "high-yield" information for the USMLE review and a new chapter entitled Interpretation of Diagnosis Tests (laboratory statistics).
