Goljan who ? :p
This is the big debate, it is upto you
Goljan is very comprehensive and covers lots of things that are covered in other books e,g lap testing , electrolytes imbalance ..etc

Both are great , but Pathoma saves time and simplifies things amazingly ! You will love path for 1st time
Have a good time!

Hey!!

I am reading goljan!! I don't know about pathoma, as far as i know some people read gojan scored very good and few scored really bad. Similarly with pathoma.
I think its not the book you choose, its how you read.

I am sharing what i know about goljan, it is huge but its very well written and it will help you immensely for CK.

good luck!!

I used Pathoma, don't know if it has worked (as I haven't taken the exam yet), but Mr. Wonderful is right, Sattar will make you love path!

Path was always one of my favorite subjects but this man just takes it up a notch, with all those explanations of his.

I used Goljan only for referencing some tough topics. It's a great book too but I believe it's pretty tough to recall and pretty comprehensive. If you got the time, why not.
