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).

Dr. Sattar is truly gifted with the ability to teach pathology. His teachings not only provide a deep understanding to the underlying processes in these disease states but are also easy to understand. Top tier and excellent study material

A lifesaver

[Aliana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Riveting, had me enraptured on every page. Illustrations really made it worthwhile.

[Olivia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have poured over every word of this book multiple times so I’m counting it. I would trust Dr. Sattar with my life (and exam scores).

[Hayden Hamblin · Rating 5 out of 5]

With all the studying I do from this damned book I deserve to mark it as read 5 times over. But once will do…. I need to hit my reading goal

[Maya · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best book I’ve ever read. Explosive plot. Phenomenal characterization. Compelling narrative. Only reason I haven’t failed out of med school (yet)

[Josh Hamilton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very high yield. A true classic of medical literature.

[Salim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredible! Where Dr. Sattar excels is his ability to teach difficult pathological processes by breaking them down to simple core principles and themes that often present themselves time and time again in medicine. “And what happens when you have a stone that blocks a tube? You get infection building up behind that block.” Dr. Sattar also organizes material really well which helps build common ideas on top of one another. These two strategies alone helped me learn more than half the material being tested by pure understanding and not memorizing. Truly the Bible of pathology.

[Ashley Hooten · Rating 5 out of 5]

one of the BEST med school resources out there. my only regret is that I underestimated how helpful it would be and didn't read it sooner.

[Cyril Brunner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr. Sattar manages to convey the most important aspects of pathology in an absolutely understandable way in just under 200 pages. A must-read for medical students and anyone interested in pathology.

[Louise Mendoza · Rating 5 out of 5]

Took the last of my tests yesterday! Please God I hope Daddy Sitar got me through 👰‍♀️

[Farhan Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Med student’s bible

[Lexi | Type6Library · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy, quick, good review book! Basically cliff notes of Robbins, I really enjoyed it. Wish I would have had this during grad school!

[Ethan Gerdts · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the greatest study resources. Has the highest yield facts for your hematology course as well as step 1. The videos are great as well. Went through the whole book 3 times prior to step1. Highly recommend!

[Firas Darwiche · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr. Sattar is wonderful, and the way he breaks down complex subjects is genius, but I’ll give it 5-stars when I pass my Pathology final exam on Thursday 😂

Edit: Passed my final! Thank you Dr. Sattar!

[Simple · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best pathology book if you read it with the accompanying videos

[Sam · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this book at least twice through (+ the 35 hours of videos). STEP1 is less than a week out for me (1/25/25) - Dr Sattar is phenomenal but I will be happy to shelve this book and not look at it again (until maybe STEP2 at least).

A must read for pre-clinical medical students. High-Yield material.

A side note - the phase "high yield" invokes the same feelings in me as "the MCAT is hard and the MCAT is important" - all my medical student peers knows the exact fight-or-flight response I am invoking here.

"Examiners like to go after this one"

This is the most high yield book you will ever open.

hahaha I thought I'd check if this was on goodreads. Dr. Sattar is one of the pillars holding up US medical education.
