I am a doctor in England, just finishing my "foundation year" (intern year). With ongoing research projects in the US, I have been planning to gain ECFMG certification for a few years now.
From August I will start studying full-time for steps 1 and 2.
Bearing in mind pathology is not covered in the same detail at UK medical schools compared to the US, and I have plenty of time to study, should I work my through Goljan RR or use the popular pathoma resource?
I understand the pathoma/goljan debate has been exhausted across the internet, but these debates have been around "dedicated" prep. I have a good 9 months just to prepare for step 1.
Goljan appears to integrate phys well. I have also listened to his old bootleg lectures which are great. I cant imagine a 200pg pathoma book covers all the path I need for a high score.
Any thoughts very much appreciated!
