Summary

Confidently prepare for the clinical pathology component of board certification, recertification, or in-service training exams! With questions and content derived from Henrys Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 21st Edition widely regarded as the definitive masterwork in clinical pathology you can depend on this Review Manual to reinforce all of the knowledge you're likely to need, not only for professional examinations, but also in your practice for years to come. 1200 chapter review questions organized to parallel the chapters in Henrys Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods, 21st Edition probe your understanding of every essential topic in the field. At the end of each chapter, you'll find explanations of which answers are correct and why. An Image Simulation examination features 50 classic color images that challenge your ability to visually identify a variety of findings. A Math Examination section assesses your skill in performing hematology, blood banking, and chemistry calculations. A Comprehensive Examination features 8 multiple-choice questions on laboratory administration, 18 on chemistry, 8 on urine and body fluids, 20 on hematology and transfusion medicine, 16 on immunology, 20 on microbiology, and 10 on molecular diagnostics to provide balanced coverage of all areas of clinical pathology.
