Do we need Robbins pathology for USMLE step 1?

[harpreet virk]

Is Robbins pathology necessary for step 1? Or the review books will be sufficient?

This huge book needs minimum 6 month to do it full and comprehensive. And additional 1 month needed to "review" it after doing to the end. So if you're preparing for Boards I would advise you to do Goljan RR, its directed on Step One Material and contains only the subjects what you need.

I used robbins during my med school days....both for patho as well as med....now i am preparing for my step 1....i a familiar with robbins and its kinda familiar for me...i think i will take a longer time to start fresh with a newer book like goljan....so is it ok if i do robbins or are additional and exam specific points covered only in goljan????

Do it from robbins and then do pathoma...goljan is basically condensed robbins
