Pathology Notes

This blog is created to help medical students learning pathology in school, preparing for their boards and applying diagnostic approaches during their clinical rotation. The goal is to make a brief, yet precise, note style reference so that they can easily grasp the most important concepts for pathology of relatively commonly seen diseases in daily practice and national boards. The practice questions are designed to help users to understand important concepts, develop problem solving skills, differentiate the most unique characteristics between disorders, and explain clinically relevant pathogenesis and diagnostic approaches. They are not exactly board style, although might be similar. This blog is expected to be updated frequently. The comment sections are open. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Comments that are irrelevant to the contents will be labeled as spam and deleted. It is recommended that this blog be used together with the course materials and other reference
