For Pathoma, should I buy the whole program or just the book(s)?

Get the full program. His lectures are simply amazing and follow his book very well.

I've heard Pathoma lectures are just reading-offs of UWorld and FA, is that true?

He lectures along with the book but explains additionally and brings up relations from previous chapters. The videos are good and general consensus is they're definitely worth doing.

well they are some interesting study plans out there depending on your base.
for me i am using:
goljan HY audios
pathoma and reviewing the FA chapter the same day
Usmle World... everyday 2 single blocks
Im gonna try to put in Usmle Secrets since its highly comprehensive for physio, BRS physio(yes scoring low on that one) and HY anatomy just a rapid review one day.
Also found out that firecracker is not bad at all if you have time. If you are in a hurry... Like I am you are going to get like 450 qs per day. Impossible for me. but its also a nice resource.
And read first aid over and over and over...... and over.
Good luck in this journey!

Since Pathoma is for pathophys, I assume that I won't need it until MS2 year?

Correct.
