Digital Library: Readings

The recommended textbook for supplemental reading is Essentials of Rubin's Pathology (5th edition, 2008) by Emanuel Rubin, Lippincott Press. Chapters for assigned reading in the syllabus refer to those found in this textbook. If you would like to read clinical vignette-style questions for self-assessment and review, I recommend: Lippincott's Review of Pathology (2010) by Fenderson and Rubin. These textbooks are all available from the Jefferson Medical and Health Science Bookstore at 1009 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia (215-955-7922).
