About the author

Dr. Husain Abdul Sattar is a distinguished Professor of Pathology at the University of Chicago, known for his exceptional contributions to medical education and his unique blend of Western medical expertise and Islamic scholarship. Born and raised in Chicago, he completed his academic journey at the University of Chicago, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology with honors in 1993 and an M.D. from the Pritzker School of Medicine in 2001.

Following his medical degree, Dr. Sattar underwent residency training in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at the University of Chicago, serving as chief resident in his final year. His specialization in breast pathology has led to significant contributions in academic surgical pathology. As an active researcher, he has authored numerous published articles, abstracts, and notably, the female reproductive and breast chapter in an edition of Robbins Basic Pathology.

Dr. Sattar's academic contributions extend to research, with several published articles and abstracts in peer-reviewed medical journals. He has also authored textbook chapters, including content for Robbins Basic Pathology.

Dr. Sattar's passion for medical education is evident in his roles at the University of Chicago. He serves as the Associate Director of Pritzker's integrated pathophysiology and therapeutics course and has independently developed a popular month-long pathology review course. His teaching extends beyond the university; for nearly a decade, he has been a highly sought-after instructor for USMLE board review courses with Kaplan Medical™, helping thousands of students achieve their academic and professional goals.

What sets Dr. Sattar apart is his parallel pursuit of Islamic scholarship. For over a decade, he has studied under traditional scholars in the United States, Syria, and Pakistan, including a three-year stay in Islamabad where he completed a course at Jamia Faridia. He holds several formal authorizations in Islamic sciences, including one in Tasawwuf (Islamic spirituality).

Reviews

[Dr. Amanda]

Dr. Sattar is a king and we don’t deserve him

[Shaikha]

This made my preclinical years much easier. Best pathology book/videos I've ever studied from!

[Iman Mek]

I fear nobody will ever do it like Sheikh Dr. Sattar

[Eva]

Getting credit for reading this 😤

[Grace]

😢😢 Step 1 prep Goodreads logs 😢😢


But this is a fantastic resource!

[Sydney Erickson]

school book but I read every word so it should count towards my yearly goal

[Benjamin Park]

Dr. Sattar is truly gifted with the ability to teach pathology. His teachings not only provide a deep understanding to the underlying processes in these disease states but are also easy to understand. Top tier and excellent study material

[Mary]

i saw someone on goodreads do this once and thought it was funny. i figured i might as well add it too.

a great read 5/5

[Maya]

Best book I’ve ever read. Explosive plot. Phenomenal characterization. Compelling narrative. Only reason I haven’t failed out of med school (yet)

[Anushka]

dedicated will not get in the way of reaching me reaching my reading goals this year 😤

[Matt J]

Reading this book has single-handedly taught me all of the pathology I will likely ever need to know, and so so so so so much more.

Dr. Sattar, when I make the salary of a full-fledged physician, I will be purchasing several copies of this book for students just to pay you back a fraction of the value this has given me.

Thank you, old friend.

[Sydney Nobles]

felt the need to commemorate finishing the entire thing. can't say i had a fun time here, but we made it

[Olivia]

I have poured over every word of this book multiple times so I’m counting it. I would trust Dr. Sattar with my life (and exam scores).

[Josh Hamilton]

Very high yield. A true classic of medical literature.

[Kristen]

Theoretically I’m a pathology expert now… right?

[Aliana]

Riveting, had me enraptured on every page. Illustrations really made it worthwhile.

[Emily Lainoff]

A lifesaver

[Hayden Hamblin]

With all the studying I do from this damned book I deserve to mark it as read 5 times over. But once will do…. I need to hit my reading goal

[Peyton Brewer]

When I say explain it to me like I’m 5 years old this is what I mean

[Claire]

I owe so much to Dr. Sattar

[Salim]

Incredible! Where Dr. Sattar excels is his ability to teach difficult pathological processes by breaking them down to simple core principles and themes that often present themselves time and time again in medicine. “And what happens when you have a stone that blocks a tube? You get infection building up behind that block.” Dr. Sattar also organizes material really well which helps build common ideas on top of one another. These two strategies alone helped me learn more than half the material being tested by pure understanding and not memorizing. Truly the Bible of pathology.

[Ethan Gerdts]

One of the greatest study resources. Has the highest yield facts for your hematology course as well as step 1. The videos are great as well. Went through the whole book 3 times prior to step1. Highly recommend!

[Firas Darwiche]

Dr. Sattar is wonderful, and the way he breaks down complex subjects is genius, but I’ll give it 5-stars when I pass my Pathology final exam on Thursday 😂

Edit: Passed my final! Thank you Dr. Sattar!

[Simple]

Best pathology book if you read it with the accompanying videos

[DasNicolas]

Med student’s bible

[Lexi | Type6Library]

Easy, quick, good review book! Basically cliff notes of Robbins, I really enjoyed it. Wish I would have had this during grad school!

[Ashley Hooten]

one of the BEST med school resources out there. my only regret is that I underestimated how helpful it would be and didn't read it sooner.

[Cyril Brunner]

Dr. Sattar manages to convey the most important aspects of pathology in an absolutely understandable way in just under 200 pages. A must-read for medical students and anyone interested in pathology.

[Louise]

Took the last of my tests yesterday! Please God I hope Daddy Sitar got me through 👰‍♀️

[Farhan Khan]

This book was my holy grail durign dedicated and saved me during step 1. God bless Dr. Sattar.
