- Understand all of the major subject areas of clinical pathology tested on the Clinical Pathology board exam , including chemistry, hematology, coagulation, microbiology, immunology (including HLA testing), transfusion medicine (including therapeutic apheresis), cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics.
- Prepare for the boards with help from multiple-choice questions offered in a format that mimics that of the actual test.
- Effectively grasp key concepts with questions that integrate various areas of clinical pathology, as well as questions that bridge concepts in clinical pathology with those in anatomic pathology.
- Understand why an answer is correct or incorrect with help from brief explanations accompanying each.
- Review key concepts in laboratory medicine, correlate them to the associated clinical or laboratory information, and apply them to the diagnosis and management of human disease.
- Designed as a companion to Anatomic Pathology Board Review, 2nd Edition (ISBN: 9781455711406).
