About the author

Dr. Husain Abdul Sattar is a distinguished Professor of Pathology at the University of Chicago, known for his exceptional contributions to medical education and his unique blend of Western medical expertise and Islamic scholarship. Born and raised in Chicago, he completed his academic journey at the University of Chicago, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology with honors in 1993 and an M.D. from the Pritzker School of Medicine in 2001.

Following his medical degree, Dr. Sattar underwent residency training in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at the University of Chicago, serving as chief resident in his final year. His specialization in breast pathology has led to significant contributions in academic surgical pathology. As an active researcher, he has authored numerous published articles, abstracts, and notably, the female reproductive and breast chapter in an edition of Robbins Basic Pathology.

Dr. Sattar's academic contributions extend to research, with several published articles and abstracts in peer-reviewed medical journals. He has also authored textbook chapters, including content for Robbins Basic Pathology.

Dr. Sattar's passion for medical education is evident in his roles at the University of Chicago. He serves as the Associate Director of Pritzker's integrated pathophysiology and therapeutics course and has independently developed a popular month-long pathology review course. His teaching extends beyond the university; for nearly a decade, he has been a highly sought-after instructor for USMLE board review courses with Kaplan Medical™, helping thousands of students achieve their academic and professional goals.

What sets Dr. Sattar apart is his parallel pursuit of Islamic scholarship. For over a decade, he has studied under traditional scholars in the United States, Syria, and Pakistan, including a three-year stay in Islamabad where he completed a course at Jamia Faridia. He holds several formal authorizations in Islamic sciences, including one in Tasawwuf (Islamic spirituality).

This the absolute best path book for medical students and I hope I never have to read it again.

took my COMLEX today and Dr. Sattar, oh whatever would I’ve done without you?

[Alaa H · Rating 5 out of 5]

Along with the online videos, this Doctor doesn't just want you to do well in exams, he wants you to have a comperhensive understanding of a subject that is very often memorized and not understood. Great review book

[Samira Kanetkar · Rating 5 out of 5]

When the man says high yield, IT’S HIGH YIELD. Short, sweet, succinct. Love you, Dr. Sattar. 5 stars.

[lily · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think we need more Profs like this dude, in every school. He really knows how to teach, and i can not stress this enough - there are a lot of teachers out there who even though respectfully have a teaching degree they just dont know how to teach.

Robins is good, but hard to understand at times and it time consuming - one thing medstudents dont have.

This is my new bible!

The most important book during my second year of medical school as well as Step 1 studying. A must own. A must read. A must memorize. Dr. Sattar makes pathology as easy as it can get.
