Clinical Pathology review

[PhoebusX]

Good day fellow physicians. Any advice for a study sched for clinical pathology certifying exam? I dont know where to start and what to focus on. Anxiety is really getting me and I am in a state of panic. Any review material you can advice or specific topics to focus? Thanks in advance.

You will have to provide a little more information. What year are you in training? When are you planning on taking the board exam (I assume that is what you mean by "certifying exam")? Most people just memorize the clinical compendium (can be found on Amazon) and do a question book (also on Amazon).

currently on level II pathology residency training. Is the compendium enough? @Mace1370

Level II? I have no idea what that is. Do you mean PGY-2? The compendium is enough to pass the CP boards, but you have to have most of it committed to memory.

Well, here goes. You DO have two years of clinical pathology
in your training. I suggest you spend that time to LEARN
the material. If you are fortunate and end up a hospital
lab medical director you will wish you had.
That said, those references are fine for board prep.

PathPrimer is a nice review/study adjunct for CP rotations as well.
