Anyone use this and have any opinions? Dr. Sattar has been frequenting many schools recently and talking up his book. Does this add anything that can't be found in Goljan or FA?

Small caveat: until recently not all his lectures had been posted because he was still making the videos. He didn't post in the chapter order...and so the final chapters he posted were 11, 8, 15, 17, 18, 19.
It seems to me that the lectures posted more recently have seemed a little rushed and not on the same level of quality as the earlier lectures. Don't get me wrong, they are still good but I really felt like his general pathology, heme/onc, repro and GI lectures were excellent.
His 8 cardio,11 hepatobiliary and 15 endocrine seemed a little rushed and lacking in all the extra info I had come to expect from his earlier lectures.
That's just my opinion though...and I would definitely use these resources again. I had never understood gen path and heme/onc very well before listening to his lectures and that was worth the price of admission for me.

There is 35 hours of videos but you also have the option to watch it all in 1.7 speed. I'd recommend watching them in normal speed at least the first time through because he does a great job of explaining thingsFor those who has used this product....how long does it take to listen/watch all the videos? Thanks!
So after all this talk about how useful it is, would you guys recommend using Goljan RR, Pathoma, or both for:
1) Board Prep
2) Coursework
Thanks!
Not one critical review?
So glad I clicked on this link. I thought a pathoma was some disease that y'all needed advice on for Step 1. Goljan has so many mixed reviews, but this resource doesn't. The sample videos are so clear and logical. I'm going to enter M2 so I don't have much basis for comparison, but this seems like a good way to go...
Has anyone found the video viewing limit to be a problem? Also, why does waterlilly recommend a 3 month purchase? The $100 doesn't seem to come with a time limit on their site... am I missing something?
waterlilly said:$50 because you can email them and ask for 3mo for $50....and still get the book.
Hmmm. The NU code didn't work for me.
Oh well I'm not going to squabble over 20 bucks when by contrast someone like Goljan wants you to drop a couple grand to come to TX or PA to see him in person even though he hasn't added much to his lectures in the past 8 years. Add to that his arrogance (my friend has a picture for DO day on the hill with him wearing a shirt that says "Goljan Approved"), The fact that continues to make and print a lot of mistakes for someone who's been in the business of teaching the same subject for over 30 years, and ironically condemns people for using his pirated lectures when in fact they are the only reason for his annoyingly universal popularity in the first place.
Well you get the point this product is more than fairly priced given it's value.
And I will say as someone who has used Barone (Kaplan), the new Kaplan videos, Menarzic, Goljan's audio, Goljan's new Falcon Review book, his RR book, and read Robbin's cover to cover this Sattar is undeniably the best.
I think Pathoma's superiority can be attributed to Dr. Sattar's drawing of simple schematics (when you do it with him you are guaranteed active learning that can't be match with note taking alone) , and his logical progression first from the normal then to abnormal for each discrete aspect of an organ system.
By contrast, most teachers don't draw anymore (if they ever did for anything other than GA and NA I can't say) and if they bother to go through histology, physiology, and anatomy before covering a system's pathology they tend to lump it all in the front. Dr. Sattar's method serves to better reinforce the differences between the normal and the abnormal by taking a dauntingly complex system and breaking it up into easily digestible chunks.
I completely concur. I did well in my Path course in MS2. But to tell you the truth, I didn't really enjoy learning the subject or knew that Path was that simply understood if one had the right teacher. He is damn good! Wow. Why can't teachers teach this way? He is truly gifted at explaining concepts. I guess the other teachers might know their stuff well, but don't truly have the gift as Dr Sattar. Enough said!!!
Wish I saw this earlier. I already bought RR path cuz I thought Goljan was the gold standard. Ignore RR pathology and use pathoma, or use both? Thoughts?
I also was planning to use RR path + Goijan audio along with second year. Would people who have used both recommend using Pathoma book + audio alone or using them alongside Goijan (perhaps pathoma for more concepts/high yield, then RR for more details/hammer points home)?
