This is a handbook '''directed at''' new pathology trainees (mainly residents or trainees with medical doctor degrees or similar). The main goal of this handbook is to provide you with the most pertinent knowledge in order to most efficiently improve the lives of people through better diagnoses and thereby better treatment.
 
==Copies, prints and reuse==
To get a printable version of this handbook (which can also be downloaded for offline use), go to patholines.org, click [[Starting pathology (handbook)|'''Starting pathology''' (handbook)]], and click [https://patholines.org/index.php?title=Starting_pathology&printable=yes Printable version] in the left hand menu.<ref group=note>To save a printable version, preferably use the printable version but print it as a PDF, if that option is available. You can then Google "convert pdf to docx" or other editable format if you want to make layout improvements before printing.</ref> A normal color printer and normal paper is sufficient, and you can keep the pages together in a binder. If you want even better quality, use color printer paper, or google a "copy shop" for a color print delivery or in-store pickup (possibly as a photo book).
