I've been chugging away at Pathoma as I'm trying to get a good foundation before I jump into any question banks. I am also doing Duke's alongside it. When should I start UWorld? Should I get through all of Pathoma first before starting or just go ahead and start the question bank. I feel like I would understand the concepts a lot better if they were put into perspective via case vignettes. However, I don't want to be in over my head by jumping the gun on UWorld too early.

Nope, yesterday. But go slow and thorough. Don’t fly through them and take them for granted

I agree, start earlier and pick a certain amount to do and review each day. You want it to be realistic for the long run. I would start smaller so you still have time to study using other resources each day.
I personally would start doing them by system/subject so you can build your knowledge in that area. You can even do it along with whatever area you are studying in pathoma/sketchy/first aid/etc. Then when you are closer to your exam date switch to randomized of all systems.
It never hurts to start Uworld earlier but can hurt to start too late.
