Well I was hoping to fully replace pathoma for first aid for the path stuff....but is there some list of stuff that anyone has for whats in first aid but not in pathoma...im sure a bunch of post-it stickies/printing out pages from my first aid pdf should do the trick. I just love pathoma and I love concision i.e.- looking at one source and mastering it but consolidation definitely helps too. Thanks
 
They are close in many chapters, but I'd say half of them aren't close at all (i.e. only 50-60%). I don't think there's any way to do this because Pathoma is definitely not meant to be comprehensive for all pathology.

Pathoma does not integrate, so it will not cover diseases done in Biochem, etc.
 
I understand the deficiencies...i.e.- im using Goljan Nutrition as an addition and I have suprisingly annotated pathoma nicely with my coursework and it has served well in the sense that Pathoma does indeed seem to be complete, but thats just my opinon. I guess the better question is, when looking at just the General Path and Organs Systems path chapters, does pathoma cover most of first aid?

Yes, it covers over 50% of first aid.
 
I would say it covers almost all of pathophys. But you need to supplement for micro/biochem concepts.
 
So for purely PATH, what is better to memorize, Pathoma or First Aid...having covered all of Path, would it be better just to add the stuff from First Aid not in Pathoma (i.e. a missing presentation or RF) into Pathoma and just use that along with the pics from First Aid....or maybe, this sounds silly but is Pathoma too detailed and should I just rewatch the Pathoma videos and annotate first aid with relevant details?

Thanks.

pathoma without question would be better--adding some first aid facts wouldn't be a terrible idea, although you could just read through it as you're doing pathoma. i wouldn't annotate first aid with pathoma, that sounds like a headache that won't pay any returns.
