Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In pathology education within North America, there exists a wide gap in the pedagogy between medical school and residency. Unlike other medical disciplines, in which the skills of history-taking, physical examination, and assessment are nurtured from the very first year of medical school, the practice of pathology bears little resemblance to the visual gallery of pattern recognition that is second-year medical school pathology. Few medical schools have required clinical rotations in pathology, and many electives remain limited in scope and participation. The pathology intern often comes into residency painfully unprepared.
The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner’s Guide to the Diagnostic Process 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 discusion of typical specimen types, a strategic approach to the specimen with a list of what to look for, and a discusion of how the multitude of different diagnoses relate to each other.

This is an outstanding book in surgical pathology for very 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 very first year resident into an approach to evaluating tissue and diagnosing common pathologic disorders. It should not be used to replace standard pathology textbooks.

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.
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 acess 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.

Excellent book. A must have for very 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.
