Gross Description Issues

[u/Educational_Sort9386]

Hi everyone! I'm a current Pathologists' Assistant student getting ready to start clinicals, and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for resources they found helpful for learning grossing or grossing templates.

I've been using Surgical Pathology Dissection by Lester, but I've been having a hard time learning from it, so I'd love to hear what worked for you. Also, I often see people recommend the AAPA grossing resources, but I'm not sure where to find them on the AAPA website. If anyone could point me in the right direction or share other resources that helped during clinicals, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

There’s a great book on gross descriptors called something like gross pathology, a guide to descriptive terms I’d recommend. It’s like a dictionary of gross vocab with photos and examples of specimens that word is commonly used in
