Robbins review of pathology rapidshare

However, because most medical students buy several review books and usually base their decision more on the recommendation of their peers than professors, I wondered whether these two books are really competing with one another. Technically, it is the successor of a similar companion compiled many years ago by Carolyn Compton, to which, however, it bears only rough resemblance.

In essence, Drs. Klatt and Kumar have produced an entirely new book. With more than questions, it covers the entire field of pathology, or at least what every self-respecting second year medical student should know. It is important to note that among all currently available review books of pathology, this is the most clinically oriented. In this respect, it reflects closely the current orientation of the National Boards.

The questions might not be verbatim replicas of those on the USMLE-1, but they give students a fairly good idea of what to expect on the national exam. Most questions are remarkably well constructed and are of high taxonomic grade. Such questions cannot be answered by rote memorization of predigested formulaic answers.

The student will have to pose, think, and integrate bits of knowledge from several fields and use a deductive approach to solve these clinicopathologic problems. It is an excellent exercise in medical thinking and should prepare the students well for further clinical training.

A major new feature that sets this book apart from others is the excellent color photographs generously sprinkled throughout the book. Placed in proper clinical context, these photographs give students direction on how to study pathology, how to interpret visual information, and how to correlate morphology with symptoms or pathogenetic mechanisms.

Professors also would be well advised to study the picture-related questions and learn from Drs. It should serve well in both learning and teaching pathology in a clinically oriented manner.
