Tulane's Robbins "T2 review" outlines a good substitute to reading the text?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just a quick scan but these notes look pretty good to me in general.

I don't think anything can really substitute for reading Robbins if that's what you want to do. But the next and real question is whether you really need to read Robbins cover to cover in order to know path really well? My opinion is no you don't need to read Robbins cover to cover to know path really well. In fact reading Robbins cover to cover is probably low yield for most people (e.g. how much is someone really going to retain)? Instead, I would just focus on doing really well in your path class + use Pathoma alongside your class lectures. That will get you to knowing path really well. Well enough to do really well on Step 1 (plus FA + UWorld) if you know them really well. Also focus on understanding rather than memorizing, at least initially.

By the way, isn't Tulane also responsible for OnlineMedEd (which is a pretty good resource for M3)? They seem to produce good stuff. Whether these resources are "must-haves" is another question of course.

Just my opinion.
 
Since my school tests directly from Robbins I think i will substitute the Goljan text with Robbins outlines along with pathoma. We'll see how it goes.

Onlinemeded is the work of a Tulane medicine resident (now, I believe, attending)
