"THE" Book for USMLE Path Review

This book is like BRS Pathology, but with gross and microscopic high resolution pictures (over 900 as per the authors), as well as other high-yield goodies. There are clinical examples and concise explanations without useless details and minutia, or as the authors put it, "...focusing on the core content that medical students need to know...highly illustrated course review...USMLE-type questions and answers with rationales". A bit pricey due to high-quality glossy paper with lots of photos, but well worth it! Don't let the 652 pages scare you away! Each page is only about 1/3 text on the average, while the rest is color macroscopic and microscopic photograghs, color illustrations, and high-yield boxes of different colors containing high-yield key facts (yellow), clinical vignettes and correlations (blue), and the molecular/biologic/genetic basis of disease (pink). There are also high-yield tables and charts, as well as a practice USMLE-style exam with color photographs and clinical vignettes. Get this book and use it with "BRS Pathology" and "Rapid-Review Pathology" and get a 261+ in Pathology without exploding your brain trying to review Robbins. Good Luck !

very Illustrative

This book is a compact version of a pathology book. It covers most common pathologies instead of very rare academic cases.It is a practical book with very good pictures. There are a lot of good quality pictures to help to recognize cases. Explanations are short but to the point. You should not expect to find all the voluminuous information that you may find in other standard pathology books but you learn more practical things from this book. It is a must have book as a reference.

Great pathology pictures!

This color illustrated pathology cover a broad range of pathologic topic with pictures to enhance the topic. What's really great is the picture examination at the end of the book which reflects the usmle-type of questions. All of the pictures from the previous book: pathology picture tests, are covered in this book with full explanations. I highly recommended as a supplement or for pathology reveiw!

It is a great high-yield tool for board review as well as basic pathology reference. I recommend it to anyone serious about studyiing pathology for the boards.
