Starting pathology - Copies

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), and click Printable version in the left hand menu. 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). If you are not intending to practice in clinical pathology (or laboratory medicine) then you may skip printing the "Clinical pathology" part.

Scary FBI logos like this are often copy-pasted into works, but do not change your copyrights.
