1 i wanted to know if for med one needs to read anything else other than kaplan...is the material given for hemat sufficient or do i need to refer back to goljans patho.

2.also myy kaplan im notes dont ve anythng for dermat so where shld i read it from and how important is dermat

3. in step1 one used to see slides in webpath for the exam,are slides asked in step2 ,if so is are u all concentrating on a particular source for these slides...thank u and i am sure someone will help

I found Kaplan's hematology section pretty alright.If you have time listen to Fischer's lectures...will reinforce whats already there in the notes.

Did you check the surgery text?There is a section in there for dermatology.From what I hear, that and the derma section in first aid should suffice.

People who've already taken the exam might be able to guide you better regarding this...but I dont think there are many slides per se.

Hi.

1- start your prep. see for yourself.

2- google and any website u feel comfortable with. none is better than the other.

3- no one source.

sorry.no specific answer.thats why did not answer your earlier post. But i can sure tell you onething. I too had lots of qns before starting UW. But after u start UW, lots of things become more clear to you. My motto is- donot prepare yourself too much for UW. Ofcourse do what/howmuch u are comfortable w/ , but if u miss out something in UW, use it as a learning tool. i think an average student like my should keep 1 1/2 to 2 months for kapread+UW, and then some solid time for UW notes revision also before exam. smiling face

here you can find not only all useful links for dermatology slides but, actually, for everything else:
www.cmdtlinks.com
click on the 'Table of Contents' - upper left corner.

for dermatology only, see
