Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wow, can you say helpful?
Sometimes reading through a review book seems like a great way to see what you picked up, but it is too easy to just say, Oh yeah, I knew that, and move on. The images in this book are great, the questions truly assess learning, and the answers continue to enlighten. If you get nothing else in terms of pathology books, get this guy, it is well worth the money.

PS I prefer new so that way the questions are not already answered. That is the worst when they are already marked up and it ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good book but not practical
It's a thorough text but really, if you want to learn the stuff, get Goljan's Rapid Review Path. I learned more from it then this text.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must Have.
This book is a must have for any serious medical student. It helps guide and focus your study of pathology to what is relevant to the USMLE. Practicing these questions really underscored the key points of each Robbins chapter. In addition, the answers have page numbers specifically referencing on which page of Robbins you can get more information on the topic.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Helpful
Helpful book for the study of pathology. Clinical vignettes and pictures make it a great addition to the pocket Robbins.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for reviewing path
This book should be required in schools for pathology. The questions are excellent, explanation clear and well written, and the book was immensely helpful for all the blocks (we had system-based curriculum). Yes the questions are long but that makes it good practice for step1. This is also one of the few books that helped me in both step1 and school exam studying. Highly recommended.
