summer first year...okay, here is what you can do...
buy first Aid, get review books covering courses that you have already had...then start studying...
read review books, put notes in FA and try to get your hands on a usmle q book and do some questions.
2nd year come around, get robbins path q book with a proper pathology book, be deligent in reading and doing questions from path q book. Make sure every month you take 1 day to read over what you wrote in FA during this summer. oh, also memorize everything in brs path and put notes in FA.
finally, when you study for the boards, read your compiled FA and do questions =) now, your FA should be a bible, filled with info from cover to cover...literally...
that is what I wish I had done before these next 4 wks, I am covering my FA book with...anything that I think is important...in the end I am putting a week just to read FA over and over and over...
oh, when you are prepping for the boards next year...8-10 hour days, do all 2100 Q from Qbank, review all 1100 Q's from Robbins, then if you still have time do web-path 1000 q's. if you don't get 250 or above...I will pay for the rest of your medical school.
