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?
After my step, I'm going to see if I condense Pathoma down into one 30 min lecture for all of pathology. There will also be an option to listen to it on 3x speed so it's really only 10 min. That way you only have to watch it 3 or 4 times and then you can go out drinking for the rest of the dedicated step studying time.ah... there's the reason it's 400-some pages less. It's more high-yield
The pathoma staff deactivates the codes if you share the on here if they were meant specifically for a certain school.

I used a code on here that wasnt meant for my school and it worked.
When I posted the code I got from my school, another email went out saying we're not allowed to share them and that the one I posted would be deactivated. @_@
FA cannot be wrong
FA is wrong. Pathoma's explanation is correct. BUN/cr > 15 implies intact tubular function.I found a difference in FA and pathoma
pathoma has divided postrenal azotemia into 2 parts early and and long standing.the early is like prerenal when the tubular function is intact(fena<1% and urine osm>500)
but in long standing its given tubular damage ensues and serum BUN/Cr ratio <15 FeNa>2% urine osm<500
in First Aid postrenal serum BUN/Cr ratio>15 FeNA>4% urine osm<350
now the serum BUN/cr ratio are opposite acc to FA and pathoma
m really confused.actually pathoma totally makes sense but FA cannot be wrong
which is correct and why ??
thanks
At the same time don't trumpet how it's a bargain; that too leads to price increases.A ONE YEAR subscription to 35 hours of VIDEO lectures + a high quality review book with full-color pictures that compliments the lectures, by the chief of pathology at the University of Chicago, no less, who also used to give USMLE lectures for Kaplan? Let's not forget that you can watch each lecture like 5 times-- some programs only let you watch each one once or twice.
$100 IS. A. STEAL. Why would anybody complain about the price?! This is probably the best bargain in board review I've ever seen. And no, I don't work for Pathoma, attend U of C, or know Dr. Sattar personally. But I am using his lectures and book and am learning so much out of them -- learning, not even reviewing. He is an amazing, gifted professor and I feel incredibly grateful that he put out this program at such a reasonable price.
If anybody wants to whine about Pathoma prices, nobody is forcing you to buy it. If you don't think it's a good value, use something else. But don't abuse the system and ultimately force them to jack up the price for the rest of us down the road.

Would you guys say it is safe to replace my RR pathology study with pathoma?

No.can these videos be watched on a driod 4G LTE phone?
come on dude. It's $100 dollars at most and it is by far the best information/$ deal out there. You don't have to distbute them for your own personal gain.

For yall MS2 taking step in June:
Are you guys going to class this semester at all? Between step studying, reading FA and qbanks, I am finding it hard to view our schools lecture at 2-4 hours/day. Just wondering if people are skipping class completely and maybe just using Pathoma
Theres only a couple mentions of BRS pathology in this thread so I thought I would ask as I'm about to purchase some supplemental board study boards. Is BRS pathology necessary if you decide to purchase pathoma?? I of course have FA and I also have a bunch books from a program that our school got us (not using the program outline though as I never study with a dedicated structured program that tells me what to study and when.) I guess I don't want to spend extra money and have a ton of extra books as I've heard have too many resources can just bog you down. Until today I had never heard of pathoma but it sounds promising so I'm just curious if BRS path is needed as well if I get this.

bummer, I got it right before you posted thisIf you are going to purchase Pathoma before January 12th, PM me.
nope , pathoma book is all you need ... BRS physiology is a good one to get . his book is full of histology slides and really easy to read .. you can read the whole thing in one day .. no joke
Quick question: Does pathoma covers pathophys or is it mainly path. How is the integration between different disciplines? Gracias folks!
I am personally going to stick to Pathoma only vs. RR path + Goljan audio. RR path is too dense, and why would I listen to an audio when I can watch a video with all the drawings and pictures Pathoma uses, but that's just me.
Dr. Sattar does a great job of keeping your attention and making difficult concepts easier to grasp.
Wow you're a fast reader! But are you retaining much going that fast? It's actually kinda deceptively dense.
Wow this is exactly how I plan to use it!
Do you pause the videos in between a lot to take notes? Or do you just let the video keep on running through?
How many hours a day are you putting in and how long is each pass taking?
I think the vids are 40 hours?
So at about 6 hours ov vid and 3-4 hours of reviewing a day it should take a week per pass through the videos.... So does that mean you've spent 3 weeks on it? Or each pass are you speeding up the vids and reviewing the notes less and less?
The 1st pass was at normal speed , i would do a chapter every 2 days .. The last 2 passes was on the 1.4X speed which is perfect ... it's not to fast to keep up with .
The 1st 3 chapters i only did twice , because he always brings up the important points from those chapters while he covers each organ . so if you take out the gen path chapters and you use the 1.4X speed ... that would be around 20hrs . most organs systems are only and hour long and i think some of the big systems like GI is close to 2hrs ... i would do a system a day .. and spend the rest of the day going over 1st aid for that system and end my day with some Q ... He really knows whats HY ..
