I am so grateful to have near Goljan's Path Review. Although it has an outline format it is a lot more complete than others.....concise, to the point. As a reader you almost feel as if someone is by your side taking your hand and explaining WHY certain things happen the way they do.

I recommend this to everyone who is preparing for USMLE examinations. It is a very good book.

This is a bit too long for boards review and its also too detailed and focussed on the minutiae of tests and things like that. Granted there are some gems here that will help understanding (like that fever doesnt just kill bacteria by temperature alone but provides O2 for the O2-dep killing system of the body) but ultimately I'm not sure that all that understanding is useful for the boards unless you remember the details as well, and this book has too many of them.

Its not bad as a reference to go along with RR or to peruse before starting actual boards studying but I'd say you can skip this one, as there's a reason it isn't in print anymore and that reason is RR

Everybody who is preparing usmle knows this is "THE book" for pathology becuse is medicine oriented ;but I remember when I took the class with him(Goljian) he mention about a new book more clinically oriented he was preparing I allredy pass all the steps(with good grades) but I would like to have a new book from him
