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?
Robbins is great. I've gotten about halfway in (have 12 chapters left of 29 to go). Seriously, I love that book. I usually am not a great student, but because of dedicating time to read it I've been consistently above the average in path.
Problem with Robbins = time--it requires a lot of it. Pathoma is something I really can just jump into w/o prior knowledge of the specific subject and still catch on. Just got it a few days ago and don't even have the book yet, but the lectures are amazing. Wish I had gotten it sooner.
Are you reading Medium Robbins?
It is really useful as a first and last pass.just got pathoma book and online access...anyone have any suggestions on how to get the most out of it...looks good so far.
Agreed.It is really useful as a first and last pass.
Agreed.
Dr. Sattar just saved my but on today's leukemia/lymphoma exam. Took our professors 7 lectures (so about 7 hrs) to cover what he did in 1 hour, maybe 10-15 pages. I watched that chapter all the way though about 4 times for this unit and man am I confident in this area now.
I wish I could just listen to him, Goljan, and do my GT all day . Sigh...
me too going to start pathoma from tomorrow.planning to watch all videos in three days.hope 3 days are enough.
my exam in jan end
any suggestions anybody

That is a minimum of 12 hours a day of just watching watching video. Major props if you can do that, I wouldn't make it. Honestly, I'd suggest doing it over 5-7 days and then mixing in another type of media (reading or flashcards) to keep from burning out and getting completely bored. You have plenty of time honestly. Just my thoughts though. Good luck
Isn't it?it took them 7 lectures for leuk lymphomas??? my god that is outrageous!
use SUNY79 for $20 off discount, expires on 12/6/11
The code SUNY79 worked for you? I just tried and no luck.
Yeah, it worked for me. The discount showed up right away and already charged my CC.
I doubt I'm the only one that used it, it could be due to you trying a little too close to the deadline...

Looks like they just rolled-out a 3-month subscription on their website for $84.95.
What a Joke
So, let's see......12 months for $99.xx and 3 months for $84.xx ..........how very smart marketing.......NOT................ the original 12-month one for $100, so what's your beef?
I want you to go buy a Sam Adams in a restaurant and take note of the unit price. Now go to the grocery store and buy some more. Now go to Costco, buy the Sam Adams Holiday 24 pack, and look at the unit price. Hopefully that little wheel in your head clicks over. If not, you should be too drunk to work a keyboard for awhile.So, let's see......12 months for $99.xx and 3 months for $84.xx ..........how very smart marketing.......NOT........
How is not smart on their part?So, let's see......12 months for $99.xx and 3 months for $84.xx ..........how very smart marketing.......NOT........
Yeah......... but if you buy one pack of Sam Adams at the restaurant for $8.50 while a 4 pack of Sam Adams is available for $10.00 at the SAME restaurant.I want you to go buy a Sam Adams in a restaurant and take note of the unit price.

NOW, if you'll excuse me, I'm heading over to Costco...for uh, highlighters
a $15 difference ?? what is going to stop from someone to buy a 12 month subscription and share with 4 of their friends?How is not smart on their part?
What it means is that particular restaurant would rather sell 4 packs.Yeah......... but if you buy one pack of Sam Adams at the restaurant for $8.50 while a 4 pack of Sam Adams is available for $10.00 at the SAME restaurant.
If you still can't figure out the difference them you need to stop sniffing the highlighters and let the air out of your head.
***edited***Looks like now a days anyone can get into the Medical school these days ..........they should have some sort of IQ test before they admit people to Med schools.

If 3 month subscription was around $50 then practically everyone will buy it for themselves.
You either follow the Apple model (sell at a really high price) or the Walmart model ( sell as many as possible)
and since Pathoma is trying to compete with the likes of Kaplan/Goljan then they should try to sell as many as possible now to get a foothold in the market and only raise the price once it is popular. That's called smart marketing.
you can still use this code. it works for everyone that tries it irrespective of where you go to school.Well with the codes that they keep emailing students to send their classmates, it's $80/year and still beats the alternatives out there. Kind of makes me wish I went to uchicago to have him as a professor.

I should think so, I got one yesterday and it worked.Does this code still work? I entered it when I tried to upgrade my account, but before I went to the page that requires credit card information, it still says it's $100. Thank you!!
Hi, Is anyone else having trouble with the video stopping and not finishing the lecture?
Guys just one quick question: I am also trying pathoma right now and i just love the lectures, especially along with the book. Up until now I have covered every subject except pathology by reading review books, so this is my very first review lecture course. And I'm just wondering whether I missed something by not watching/reading the Kaplan lectures and notes. Did I really miss something? Or is it just pathoma that is so good? (although I have to say that i have a uworld % of about 78% now so the review books couldn't have been that bad)
I've gotten through most of Goljan (~ 17 ch) and think that the reason it is so much more is because there's a lot of things that aren't really pure pathology in there (ie pharm, physio, clinical stuff such as murmurs and lung auscultation signs). Whereas pathoma seems to be more focused on just pathology, so its a much thinner volume.I reviewed my first system yesterday in pathoma and I found it extremely helpful and highly recommend it. However I do have a question for people that have used it and taken step 1 or about to. Do you find it sufficient alone for step 1? I have a feeling that it is kind of light compared to goljan. My intentions are to use it to make sense of disease processes covered in pathoma and review goljan afterwards to get the extra detail. But has anyone only used pathoma without using goljan or another source?
Anymore codes out there? Planning on buying it today or tomorrow.
