Summary

Featuring over 1,100 multiple-choice, clinical vignette-style questions, this Q&A book provides the most up-to-date, clinically relevant review of pathology. It helps medical students master the vast amount of pathology information they need to succeed on the USMLE, and serves as an excellent review tool for students in other health professions. Using the format of the National Board of Medical Examiners, the questions address the general and systemic pathology topics detailed in the highly-acclaimed textbook Rubin's Pathology: Clinicopathologic Foundations of Medicine. Correct and incorrect answers are explained in detailed rationales linked to clinical vignettes. Over 300 full-color images link clinical and pathologic findings. To give students practice for the computer-generated USMLE, the questions are also available online on our Connection Website.
