Pathology for the Health Professions

Pathology for the Health Professions, 5th Edition, is a general pathology textbook that introduces healthcare students to frequently encountered diseases. The text delivers clinically relevant foundational concepts across essential disease processes.

Major medical conditions are organized through the DEPPiCT framework. This structure systematically addresses disease descriptions, etiology, pathogenesis, pathology, clinical features, and therapy or prognosis across illnesses such as hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.

Chapter learning objectives, review questions, and introductory key terms linked to an end-of-textbook glossary help students assess their understanding. In addition, "Did You Know" boxes connect pathology topics directly to everyday healthcare practice.
