Hey everyone!
For pathology, would you recommend Pathoma or Robbins? Or even both? My school "requires" Robbins but I've heard wonderful things about Pathoma. Anyone have a preference? Thanks!
 
Robbins is no-quotation-marks-mandatory at my school (Big Robbins)-- but Pathoma is incredibly helpful for understanding Robbins. I tend to do a pass through Pathoma before I read the textbook.

This. So much this.

I similarly do Pathoma before Robbins, and the quotation marks are there at my school. I just love Big Robbins.
 
Thanks guys! I think I might check them both out. They seem like they'll be pretty useful through the years.

Pathoma is an amazing resource, 10/10 in my opinion. However, it is a review resource and by no means inclusive for learning the entirety of the material. It's excellent for a first past and excellent for review. If you want something in between the breadth of the two, you could go with Goljan RR Path.

I use Pathoma and small Robbins, and I have been doing fine. But I know other classmates who use Goljan RR only and they also do well.
