Thoughtful artwork makes the material engaging and memorable. An awesome and much-needed resource!" Chandra Krishnan, MD Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, Austin, TX @Hematogones "Ace the Boards provides a very organized and thoughtful presentation of hematopathology that would make a great reference for residents and fellows alike. The pictures and figures are very nicely done and help the reader through complex topics in hematopathology." Sanam Longhavi, MD Assistant Professor, Department of Hematopathology The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX "Great resource for trainees interested in broadening their knowledge of hematopathology." To provide a reference text that would assimilate all the relevant information, we attempted to create a high-yield, comprehensive book which touched on all the relevant aspects of non-neoplastic hematopathology and coagulation. In it, the reader will be able to easily navigate outlines, original illustrations, and photomicrographs that will help solidify difficult topics and provide a quick resource for revision. We sincerely hope that our passion and enthusiasm for each subject will be reflected throughout this text and that the readers will find it helpful - not only for their Board exams but also during hematopathology rotations. We welcome the input of our readers as we embark on this journey of learning and hope to incorporate their valuable feedback in our future editions. We wish you the greatest success as you study for the Boards! Ace my Path team.

Coagulation testing is the basis for the diagnosis of bleeding and thrombotic disorders, as well as the mainstay of anticoagulant monitoring and management. This handbook provides practical information and guidance on topics relevant to directing a coagulation laboratory, filling a void in the literature. Since the first edition, all chapters have been updated and an entirely new chapter is included on pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics. The book will aid pathologists, clinical laboratory scientists and other physicians serving as laboratory directors to understand and carry out their responsibilities. It will also assist residents and fellows in learning the basics of coagulation testing and serve as a useful day-to-day reference for coagulation laboratory supervisors, technologists, and technicians. Finally, clinicians may find aspects of the book helpful in understanding the role of the coagulation laboratory in patient evaluation and monitoring.
