Two more questions for the Great Pumpkin

[Rudy]

Hey GP,

For those of us getting ready to start our Pathology residency in a few months, please shed some light on two questions:

1) Which Surgical Pathology text do you prefer, Sternberg or Rosai? Which books do you think are "must buys" for path residency?

2) Do you have any tips/strategies regarding how to approach the daunting task of learning pathology (ie how to organize your study file, how to balance broad vs case-based reading, etc.)

Thanks in advance. I always appreciate your insights on this forum.

I like sternberg best, but the other is fine too. I would wait and buy your major surg path book after you start residency. Book fund.

Do you have any tips/strategies regarding how to approach the daunting task of learning pathology (ie how to organize your study file, how to balance broad vs case-based reading, etc.)

good question when you figure it out tell me hehe. I just read, read, read and listen listen listen. No system here.

Hehe, thanks.

I really loved this site when I was trying to make residency decisions. And, wished I would have had all this info for getting into med school. I would have made alot fewer mistakes.

I sure hope when everyone matches and goes off to their programs they will come back and contribute. Maybe even talk about some residency problems, concerns or even cool things they have seen.
