Each chapter explores the biochemical concepts behind underlying causes and demonstrates their ties to presenting symptoms through 5 realistic patient cases. Accompanying questions encourage discussion and guide users in building accurate differential diagnoses. Ideal for peer-to-peer learning environments or independent study, this practical approach strengthens users’ application of fundamental knowledge and ensures the long-term retention essential to clinical success.
- 50 Patient Cases emphasize the biochemical concepts behind common patient symptoms through problem-based learning.
- Clinical Impression sections encourage critical thinking and train students step by step in building effective differential diagnoses.
- Basic Science Correlations in each Patient Case clarify the biochemical concepts underlying diagnosis with an engaging question-and-answer format.
- High-Yield Concepts summarized after each Patient Case reinforce students’ comprehension of essential chapter concepts.
- Digital Animations immerse students in biochemical processes to enrich their understanding and diagnostic confidence.
