Newer content includes a new chapter on Blood Banking and Transfusion and another on Clinical Pathology incorporated in Appendix I along with Basic Diagnostic Cytology. Pathology of COVID-19 and its impact on different organ-systems incorporated in different chapters. Labelled gross and photomicrographs of high quality and better resolution added and amended, many of these were generously contributed by Prof Ivan Damjanov in previous edition, several schematic illustrations updated and amended. New tables added at several places for enhanced learning. Key points as gist at the end of every topic in bulleted points for a rapid revision of the subject in an ultra-short time. Chapter orientation paragraph given at the beginning of every chapter to peek through the entire chapter and meant to aid the user in systematic and organised learning. Revised companion book prepared exclusively on the pattern of competencies/outcomes as recommended by the NMC is given for free to the user of the textbook for a quick review of the subject. Complimentary online learning resource includes high-yield questions (long-answer type, short-answer type, MCQs, clinical scenario-based and image-based) and clinical cases along with key and explanatory notes. Cheers! No overburdening!! With all these additions and insertions, girth of the book remains unaltered, care having been taken not to overburden the already stressed students.

Question and answer format- This user-friendly format of short questions and brief answers replicates the actual exams and contains many questions from previous exams, accompanied by succinct answers written in simple and easy-to-understand language. Illustrations- The book is profusely illustrated with over 500 labelled line-sketches of gross and microscopy of specimens/slides, schematic drawings and photographs. Some of these figures were also used for questions, to show the students that some questions on the forthcoming examination will be based on pictorial material. Tables- The book contains approximately 200 tables that include comparative features of closely resembling conditions, important classifications and listing of salient features. Online learning resources- The electronic supplement to the book includes approximately 1, 200 high-yield questions (MCQs, clinicopathologic vignettes and figure-based questions), followed by corresponding answers and brief explanatory notes for the correct answers, as well as a full rationale for all other answer options. Self-assessment- Users have the facility for attempting online questions and knowing the score, followed by correct answers with explanatory notes.

As per Competency-based Medical Education- Includes 8 sections containing 64 exercises prepared on the pattern of practical class of students: Basic Techniques in Pathology, General Principles of Pathology, Basic Diagnostic Cytology, Haematology, Lymphoid Tissues and Transfusion, Clinical and Applied Pathology, Pathology of Systems, Basics of Autopsy Pathology, and Appendices (Common Instruments in Pathology, Common Similes in Pathology, and Normal Values). Colour-coded Stratification of Competencies- Colour-coded list of competencies/outcomes as per CBME curriculum given in the beginning of each exercise for segregating them in accordance with their relative significance and requirement of the students as: Core (Must Know), Non-core (Desirable to Know), Integrated Learning, and Additional knowledge. Newer Images of High Quality- Many gross and microscopic images added and several replaced with better quality, adding more value and clarity in understanding morphologic pathology for the beginner students. Key Questions for Viva Voce- Important short questions with their brief answers at the end of each exercise, based on the core content covered in that exercise. These are the usual questions which the students are often asked in their viva voce, in ward rounds or in clinic which is likely to help the students in facing exam confidently and for self-test. Complimentary Online Learning Resource- Includes two sections: a section on 10 structured CPCs (text and illustrations) representing different organ systems and common diseases, and the second section on Quick Review of Pathology Museum that includes images and legends of 108 gross specimens from pathology museum of common conditions for quick review of must know specimens for students.
