Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your time or energy!!!
Ok here's the deal. Honestly, I think Goljan is absolutely brillant, but this book is wayyyyyyyyy too dense to learn from. It is practicaly impossible to remember everything from this book. Honestly, I think the BRS book BRS Pathology covers THE most relevant material. If you can understand and memorize that book ure golden. My cousin who rocked step 1 w a 261 memorized the crap out of that book, as did my brother. If you know BRS u know ure path. Honestly, ask yourself after u take a medical school ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic resource

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Decent....
This is a great book, but I think I really got the most out of it after spending hours reviewing pathophys from a more comprehensive source (like Robbins).

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Useful book
This is a good book, but it's pretty tough to read because it just gives the facts without much extra information. However, it is very useful for studying for step 1.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I dito the claim that Goljan is the man
This book is incredible!!! It reviews a lot of what is learned in Basic Sciences and beyond in a few pages.
I recommend using this book AFTER you have taken a Pathology course, and read a more detailed text book such as Robbins Basic Pathology. I say this because the concepts are covered in point format,and the book integrates a lot of other topics like pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology and embryology which may make one feel a bit overwhelmed.
I do recommend using this book to study ... Read More
