簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble)：
In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. As a result, the pathology intern often comes into residency unprepared.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Completely illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. It includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system. Within each chapter, there is a brief review of salient normal histology, a discussion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen, and a discussion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.
The best book for pathology residents!
This is the most high-yield, readable book available for path residents. i recently finished my residency in California and this book would've made a huge difference in my education. It is organized by organ system (29 chapters) and has 15-18 excellent high-quality photomicrographs in ea chapter. Has over 30 photos in skin and bone/soft tissue chapters. Most photos also include labels so you know what you're looking at!
It includes an outstanding chapter on the placenta (the best overview i have ever read). Also a ch. on how to sign-out "Ditzels" those small benign specimens that beginners can get hung up on, like cholesteatomas. Also includes lymph node and bone marrow chapters.
It contains a lot of good foundation and pearls of information that will make your sign-out sessions 10x more effective for learning.
It acknowledges a lot of the quirky nomenclature issues and makes them clearly understandable. For ex., non-invasive urothelial vs invasive urothelial carcinomas vs carcinoma in-situ. The author(s) also spend time clarifying confusing neuroendocrine issues/terminology, like PNETs and lung vs GI vs pancreatic sign-outs.
It answers a ton of questions that i thought confusing, but seemed too trivial or stupid to ask.
The only thing missing is a chapter on thymomas. Otherwise, this book is perfect for residents!
Starting pathology residency? This is for you
Excellent book. A must have for first year pathology residents! If you're buried under large textbooks and don't know where to go, buy this book. The chapters are concise and easy to read. The pictures are clear with arrows and circles highlighting the important cells/areas.
Very useful
I'm in second year of my pathology residence and this book is very useful for me. It was written in the same style, as books of "...for dummies" series - simple, but not primitive and very informative. One key component in every residency program is the practical instruction in histopathology, often accompanied by verbal tips, unwritten rules and useful pearls. Those attendings able to communicate in this way stand out. In a similar way 'The Practice of Surgical Pathology' (TPSP) stands out.
All illustrations are of very good quality (unlike Robbins and Cotran's) and, what is very important for novice - all have arrows, arrowheads and other indicators of "where to look".
Of course, this book is NOT enough to pass exams or to work as pathologist, but it is very book for beginnersnin pathology
Eye opener for residents
The many dense descriptions and clear pictorial examples are flanked by practical tips. While TPSP is not intended to replace textbooks of surgical pathology, it is in the overall guiding principles where other books fall short.
The comparison with 'beside-the-microscope manuals' [e.g. Tadrous, Allen] is not justified. TPSP is not written to provide quick access to facts; rather it's strength lies in the continuous text with excellent flow. Almost like a good lecture, TPSP provides a framework for concepts in surgical pathology.
Very few people have the ability to condense a complex field into a quick-read (~17 hours cover to cover) and maintain clarity. Although some of the clever wording may not be obvious to a beginner, it's the balance between brevity and clarity that makes TPSP unique.
Just in case you missed my assessment - I would like to give Dr. Weedman-Molavi's book my highest recommendation.
A Lifesaver
Dr. Molavi's short textbook has been an invaluable aid to me during the initial portion of my residency. From common sign-outs to the multiple unknown conferences we have had, her book has served as a quick and understandable resource to help me get started. Pathology, as a medical specialty that is not usually covered well in medical school, was something of a black box for me. Her well-written book was succinct and understandable to me - vitally important in trying to navigate the tens of thousands of pages from hundreds of resources. Is it comprehensive? It is not meant to be. But for bridging the gap for new residents in pathology, I have found it invaluable. I heartilly recommend it to anyone getting started in this fascinating field, as well as those who are just interested in what pathology actually is. Fantastic book!
Great Book for First Year Residents
This is an outstanding book in surgical pathology for first year pathology residents. The book gives the basic information you need to diagnose common pathological lesions that you will see on a daily basis. The book is divided into chapters based on individual organs, with additional chapters on pathologic terminology, basic microscope use including Kohler illumination, inflammation, and immunostains. This book does not include detailed descriptions of diagnoses or any unusual diagnoses. Its strength is guiding the first year resident into an approach to evaluating tissue and diagnosing common pathologic disorders. It should not be used to replace standard pathology textbooks.
Great resource
I'm a first year path resident and I've found this book to be immensely helpful. I encountered it as a MS4 and to be honest I was underwhelmed at the time. It wasn't until I started residency until I realized the beauty of this book. It's prefect for first year residents who are looking for a tool to help with sign-out preparation. Great book, get it. Do it now....
Definitely worth having it
This book is extremely useful for first year residents just starting surgical pathology. It's very basic with lots of pictures and arrows pointing out important things, which helps a lot when you don't have much pathology background and trying to figure out what storiform pattern looks like!! Also great for 4th year medical students wanting to go into pathology.
Excellent source for internship/beginning pathology
Only recently published within the last 2 years, this book is a godsend to pathology interns who don't have extensive exposure to the field. The content is simplified, serving as a good bridge to more comprehensive textbooks like Rosai and Ackerman or Sternberg's Pathology. Valuable content includes a list of proper descriptive lingo (along with great demonstrative histology pictures), common diagnoses encountered in pathology (organized by organ system,) and even an introduction to using the microscope. My co-interns and I constantly refer to this book. Highly recommended investment!
Essential starter book!
This is the perfect book for those starting out their training in pathology. It's akin to the 'at a glace' series of books for other specialties. The full texts are just too overwhelming for the novice. This should be a prescribed text! It's that good!
