Transcription

1 1/6 The list below (A) is recommended by the ECVCP Examination committee as literature that can be used and on which examination questions are based. It is advised that candidates be familiar with this material. A more detailed list (B) with additional books and journals is recommended by the ECVCP Education committee: this material is that expected to form part of a collection in a training centre. These books and journals should be consulted during the training period and read to broaden background and deepen understanding of the four areas of clinical pathology: general clinical pathology, haematology, cytology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis.

6 6/6 It is suggested that reading in all areas for understanding general principles should start in year 1 and more journal articles and new reviews be added in the later 2 years Group text chapter and review articles discussion are beneficial study aids Also a regular weekly Journal club for discussing current relevant articles is another study aid over the training period. General background reading for understanding the basis and mechanisms of diseases and clinical pathology changes is advised
