I'm thinking of splitting the cost with a few friends and sharing an account. Anyone have experience with this? Any problems, for example, the account can't be logged onto two computer at the same time? Thanks!

Dude Pathoma is the best resource we have as medical students...you really can't support Dr. Sattar and his incredibly affordable price?

i agree that you should just get the book and video for yourself.
but i also think there is a limit to the amount of times you can watch a video...
 
There may not be a mechanism in place to automatically cancel your subscription if you login from multiple IP addresses, but that is definitely against the TOS. As someone else mentioned there's also a view limit for the videos (6 times per video when I used Pathoma) which could be an issue. Regardless, it's just, what, $100? Pay for it. It's well worth the money.

Agree with all, saving $50 and flipping a coin to get the physical book is not worth it. Pathoma will increase your step score, increasing your chances for a good residency and more competitive specialties.
 
I find it hilarious how when buying board material (some of the most important and profession-determining investments) people will always be like "I can't afford this...;" then next weekend they are like "omgzors kegger at my place ($100)," "just bought this new ipad mini ($300)," "my hair stylist did my hair wrong, guess that's a waste ($75)." Pathoma is one of the cheapest resources and in my opinion I feel like the hassle of saving ~40 dollars to strategically plan your studying around accessing it with another person is silly.
 
Well, there appears to be a consensus. When an educator is so reasonable with his pricing and offers you gold on a platter for a fraction of the cost, don't abuse it.
 
dr. sattar is a direct descendent of the USMLE gods himself. do you really want to bring that bad joo joo to your exam?
