I know EVMS has a good rep for the path course, but how many other sources should I use? I feel overwhelmed with big robbins, baby robbins, RR, class notes, and the Lippincott question book. I have no method, I just use whatever one seems fitting for the moment. I'd love to get through them all but never do and end up spending too much time on a few lectures and not enough on others. It seems like people on the discussion boards all post different strategies that all worked just as well, and they're either using tons of sources or just class notes and a review book and questions. I need something in the middle! Suggestions?

RR is considered the gold standard for path. However, if you feel overwhelmed doing that on top of your course work I would highly recommend BRS Pathology.

BRS path is very, very short and concise (usually 10 small pages per chapter). It lacks the fine detail that RR has, but it only takes 30 minutes to read a chapter. Once I have read a chapter in BRS I really feel like I understand the main points of each disease.
