If you have the time then Goljan is the first choice and no need for Kaplan.
But if you don't have the time then do Kaplan alone as it takes less time.
Goljan is really huge. Over 600 pages and it is very concise so you have to have time to do it correctly. But anyway you must remember that pathology (as far as I know) is very much emphasized in real exam so do it well. I bought Goljan because it has many high opinions in amazon.com. (77 5-star reviews). I haven't read it, but I have looked couple of pages and I must say that I look very much forward to start reading it.
I am an IMG medical graduate. I am trying to decide if I need to get goljan RRP to study pathology or the new 2012 or 2010 kaplan pathology is sufficient; I am for a high score... Please help I would appreciate some advice on the matter... thanks
Use goljan. The new kaplan pathology is the exact same content word for word, except now the books are in paragraph form not an outline, therefore they are still pretty bad with compared to goljan.
Hey guys, I have gone through Kaplan Pathology once and took notes on it but I havent had the time to review the notes/ book. I was thinking of going over it and reading all of it in a maximum of 4-5 days. Do you think I should go over it again or just go do goljan and pathoma ? I was planning on doing those later anyways.
I haven't done any of the books, but I think since you wrote some notes you might wanna review those if your time permits, but supplement that with goljan or pathoma... Good luck
Guys here for an suggestion
I am done with most of goljian's and I must say its a vast, fantastic book but I already spent lot of time on this approximately a month ( may be I am a slow lazy reader) but what I want to ask is- I am already done with most of important chapters like- 1 to 8 chapters and most of organ system chapters. But still left with some boring ( which I think are boring) like- endocrine, skin, reproductive system. So I want an opinion that do I need to these chapters from goljian's or Kaplan before switching to FA or I can directly switch to FA.
I know I am quite a dumbo among intelligent friends out there but in childhood I heard that " slow and steady wins the race" so just relaying on that principle.
