Pathopharmacology 2nd Edition by Bruce Colbert/Kurtis Pierce
Quick Navigation

Overview

Designed for a combined pharmacology and pathophysiology course in medical coding and other health care programs, Colbert/Pierce's PATHOPHARMACOLOGY, Second Edition, helps students see the connection between the two fields and how they relate to their chosen career. Instead of relying on mass memorization -- which can feel overwhelming -- the authors help students truly learn and internalize material. An engaging writing style makes even complex topics easy to understand, while real-world clinical connections highlight the relevancy of concepts covered. Analogies and learning hints are integrated throughout, and vibrant new illustrations and photos enhance learning. The new edition includes COVID-19 updates, the latest infection control concepts and new basic coding information showing the coding relationship between health care professions and clinical practice. Also available: MindTap.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • By combining them into one engaging text, PATHOPHARMACOLOGY emphasizes how pathology and pharmacology are interrelated and relevant to each other.
  • Each section is based on individual learning objectives to allow for chunking key information into more digestible bites followed by testing. Each system chapter is organized so it begins with normal A&P, then notes what can go wrong (pathology) before explaining how medications can bring it back to normal (homeostasis). The main diseases in each system are covered along with the more commonly used medications -- keeping coverage concise so students can focus on learning concepts instead of mass memorization.
  • Numerous Clinical Connections within each chapter highlight why the student is learning the material and how it relates to their future clinical practice.
  • Quick-reference summary tables pull key material together into one concise space -- helping students maximize their study time.
  • A robust and engaging series of electronic experiences includes interactive testing, animations and videos that bring chapter concepts to life for today's media-savvy students.
  • Student-friendly learning hints within each chapter offer additional help and tips for understanding difficult or confusing concepts.
  • Key terms are thoroughly defined upfront to ensure students gain a basic understanding before the chapter reading reinforces and builds on the material.
