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.
