3. Prioritizing application of knowledge, interactive learning methods, critical analysis, and evidence-based practice, this modernized 3rd Edition of Applied Physiological Disorders: An Abstract Approach to the Pathologies of Illness investigates pathology through the perspective of body function principles and the consequences of function alteration due to injury or disease.

   This innovative approach aids students in comprehending that conditions are rarely restricted to one bodily system and encourages them to utilize what they have acquired to a variety of disorders, rather than attempting to memorize details about specific ailments. In doing so, they develop the ability to analyze pathology in a similar manner to practitioners in a clinical environment—by tracing back from symptoms to the cause, rather than the opposite direction.
