A DEPPiCT approach presents each major disease in the same format that includes, when feasible, a description of D isease, E tiology, P athogenesis, P athology, C linical features, and T herapy or prognosis.
I read this book for my Advanced Patho class. Twice. Because of this, I think it deserves to be added to my reading list. In all honesty, I found this to be a very concise and yet comprehensive text for a course this vast. The diagrams, charts, and slide images were also very helpful - I found that I could use the online resources to make them into flashcards (only 600!) which was very helpful for my final exam!
