Essentials of Rubin´s Pathology, Fifth Edition is a condensed version of Rubin´s flagship pathology text, targeted to students in allied health fields, including dentistry, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. The primary distinction between Rubin´s Pathology and Essentials of Rubin´s Pathology is the level of detail: the same outline of 30 chapters, 10 covering principles and mechanisms of pathology and 20 covering organ-specific pathology, is shared.
