For those who sat for the Cytopathology boards:

- Is the exam hard? The pass rate is within eighties.

- Is Osler course in cytopathology useful?

- Best Books..Demay of course..what else? Cibas?

Thanks for any advices.

The cytopath exam is similar in degree of difficulty to the AP exam.

I suggest reading DeMay (the big 2 volume DeMay, not the little one). Also, the Cytopathology Review Guide by Holladay is useful. I think I also read Bibbo.

I did not find the Osler cytopath review particularly helpful. Granted, my experience is from six years ago, so perhaps things have changed.
