This website is designed to simplify an important area of medicine and to present it in a question-and-answer format, which has been shown to enhance learning and retention of information. I’ve chosen pathology as the focus, because pathology is the foundation of modern medicine. It touches on every aspect of basic science and clinical practice. It is my hope that the website will be widely used to enhance knowledge of pathological processes by condensing the range of information in a manner conducive to learning and review.

Disclaimer
The purpose of this website is to provide a review for the student of pathology. It makes no claims to inform treatment of disease or clinical practice. It should be used only as a review.
It is the intention of this website to first review disease processes in general and only then to explore organ pathology. Sections on organ pathology will be added as they become available.
This review is structured in a question-and-answer format. This format is meant to assist students in reviewing materials that have already been studied.
About
I have been an historical researcher and author of historical fiction throughout most of my career.
At the same time, I have observed an increasing need for better medical care throughout the world . Healthcare has become one of the foremost topics of concern within the general public. I know from personal experience within the network of my family, my friends, and city how preventable diseases still limit life expectancy and quality of life. Therefore, I would like to do something to enhance the quality of healthcare.
I believe that the best contribution I can make is through contributing to the education of physicians, medical students and other health professionals. As the Internet has become a major source of information for medical professionals, medical students, and the general public, I have chosen to work in this venue, taking full advantage of the greatly increased availability of information and references that it offers.
