pathoma

at the end of the day the stuff in pathoma is what you will remember from goljan no matter how much you read goljan,which reading goljan more than 2 times is very difficult unless you have a lot of time...but you can do pathoma evry week..trust me its possible to finish pathoma within a week after you have read it thoroughly once...people are biased towards goljan.....

I did my pathology from Pathoma, and only reviewed the blue side notes in Goljan (the slides too). Honestly it didn't take me that much time. I first got my basic concepts mastered from Pathoma and then I quickly reviewed the blue side notes with the slides from Goljan in the corresponding chapters. I have been getting around 95% in UW!
