Terrific book!:
New version of the path BRS is terrific. Distills the essentials of pathology into a concise, easy-to-read book, with test yourself questions & explanations at the end of each chapter. Think it's best used if read before & after your course materials (lectures handouts, Robbins, etc). But having this book will ensure you are learning what you must know about pathology. Plus, it will then serve as a great refresher when studying for Step 1.
pretty good:
Add notes to this book as you're going through Organ Systems courses and this will help significantly with review...
Excellent for fast review:
This book is a no nonsense review of path. Sure it lacks illustrations, but it's well organized and covers the high yield stuff for step I.
High yield pathology review:
This is an excellent review for both a pathology course and for studying for USMLE Step I. Its main weakness is that it doesn't include very many images, so you need an atlas of some sort as a companion. I used an image bank my school provided and this book alone to study for pathology on Step I, and I did extremely well.
