- The pedagogical structure for each chapter includes…chapter outlines • key terms • objectives • multiple-choice review questions with answer keys case studies and • chapter summaries.
- Case studies make topics more relevant and help to explain the “big picture.”
- Each chapter is a complete learning module that contains theoretic principles, illustrations, definitions of relevant terminology, procedures for simulated clinical testing, and questions and case studies that help to evaluate learning.
- An insert features full-color slides that visually demonstrate what to expect in the lab and show the relationship between immunology and hematology.
- Updated references and additional lab exercises reflect changes in immunology
and serology.
- Lab exercises designed to illustrate and reinforce principles discussed in the chapters.
