By combining them into one engaging text, PATHOPHARMACOLOGY emphasizes how pathology and pharmacology are interrelated and relevant to each other.
Each section is based on individual learning objectives to allow for chunking key information into more digestible bites followed by testing. Each system chapter is organized so it begins with normal A&P, then notes what can go wrong (pathology) before explaining how medications can bring it back to normal (homeostasis). The main diseases in each system are covered along with the more commonly used medications -- keeping coverage concise so students can focus on learning concepts instead of mass memorization.
Numerous Clinical Connections within each chapter highlight why the student is learning the material and how it relates to their future clinical practice.
Quick-reference summary tables pull key material together into one concise space -- helping students maximize their study time.
