For undergraduate allied health programs.

The first book to be structured in an independent study format, this new text is directed toward the self-study student as well as satellite courses/programs for health science students. Easy to read and understand, the book presents the study of disease processes in a conversational manner, yet guides students through concepts with a structured, professional approach.

  • Separate chapters on diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities.
  • Conversational terminology.
  • Medical terms are defined in medical context.
  • Questions within each frame with answer columns on every page.
  • Flow charts and illustrations walk students through causes, development and effects of various disease processes.
  • Review questions and answers at the end of each chapter section.
