Summary

Now in its updated Third Edition, BRS Pathology is an excellent preparatory review for course exams or the USMLE Step 1. Chapters parallel most standard pathology texts and each chapter ends with a review test. 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 USMLE-format questions. USMLE questions have all been updated to current USMLE format. The text is written in outline format for effective review. Icons indicate high-yield information that correlates with key pathology concepts.
