''Rubin's Pathology'' is a core textbook for medical students taking pathology. Pathology in medical school is generally taught in one of two ways: as a year long course in the second year of medical school, covering principles and systems, or as a two part course, beginning with fundamental principles in the first year of medical school and concluding with systems pathology in the second year of medical school. This text emphasizes concepts that a medical student needs to know without going into unnecessary detail. It features numerous high-quality images and superb four-color illustrations. There is a companion website that offers valuable additional material to enhance learning and teaching.
