Members do not see this ad.

it has so many pages, i know that you can't possibly remember everything in the book.

how do you people study it?

Usually I turn to the page that has the information I am currently studying. Then I usually start with the first word and travel accordingly from left to right and top to bottom. But I am so smart that sometimes I will start for right to left to switch things up.

I've been going over chapters as we cover them in class, and taking notes in the book from his corresponding audio. Surprisingly, it's not very difficult to get through small chunks at a time.

The biggest thing I've noticed is just focusing on every little word and phrase and thinking to yourself, "Ok, now what exactly is he trying to say here?"

Every single word in the description of clinical findings is important. You can't read it like a normal book. You have to focus in on everything. Hope this helps!

Every single small word that is in the description of clinical signs and symptoms. You can't read it like a normal book. You have to focus in on every word. Hope this helps!

ditto, i try to reason out every clinical finding and lab finding, also sometimes i have to rephrase certain lines or put them in my own words to help remember

Like was said above, the best thing to do is try to understand why clinical signs or symptoms are there. If you understand why, you won't need to memorize (as much). This book is gold though, make it your best friend.

I actually used his audio lectures and listened to each chapter in the book. I read from the pathology textbook assigned with my class. Alot of students I know strictly read Goljan along with class and did just as well, if not better

Just follow along in it with your lectures. I'm a student at OSU and attend his lectures daily. The bullets he puts out in the margins are usually very important in relation to boards. Someone put it perfectly earlier. Try to find out the "Why" and you won't have as much work. Poppie loves the "why" way more than the how.
