And, to keep pace with evolving standards, the Sixth Edition is now ELAP-compliant, has testing formats compatible with the MBLEx exam, and features updated content consistent with the DSM-V.

Student Resources for each chapter: - Engaging crossword puzzles, hangman-style games, and game show questions help build familiarity with important ideas. - Flashcards reinforce concepts of the "In Brief" feature and a second set of flashcards reviews Greek/Latin roots and their English equivalents. - Practice quizzes help students assess their understanding and prepare for exams. - An Audio Glossary assists in pronunciation and key term mastery. - Interactive Labeling Exercises give students hands-on practice in labeling figures from the book. - Modality Recommendation Charts provide guidance on massage in different modalities for each condition. Instructor Resources, organized by condition and chapter: - Curriculum guidelines, "Secrets of Teaching Pathology" from the author, offer suggestions on customizing a pathology course to individual needs including how to choose content, how to use quizzes and examinations, examples of student projects, and more. - Expanded chapter objectives are ELAP-ready for faculty convenience. - Lecture notes in outline form can be used for teaching notes, student handouts, or both. - An image bank with all of the art from the text is available in an easily downloadable format. - PowerPoint slides with embedded images streamline lecture preparation. - The Test Bank, written in 2 levels ("receive and respond"/ "application of concepts") better reflects the MBLEx exam and is ideal for quizzes, tests, and homework assignments.
