Please give advise as where I can get(to buy) the Goljan Lecture Notes-pathology.

Is this Notes the same as the "Pathology (Saunders Text and Review Series)"-518 pages by Edward F. Goljan, William Schmitt (Editor) ?

Or is the Notes the same as "Pathology Review (Saunders Text and Review Series)"-339 pages by Edward F. Goljan, William Schmitt (Editor)

I got an audio CD for Goljan lectures(5-day), does the Notes suppose work with the audio ?

Really appreciate your help on the is topic.

Thanks a lot

Goljan notes are not those Saunders books.Those are notes that Goljan himself gives to students when he is profesor at Kaplan , so you can't buy them.Well actualy you can buy them at some ilegal sites.

You can come to school where he lectures smiling face

They are all over the net. Just do a Google search for goljan and you will find plenty of people. His books (saunders, rapid review) are extremely good, although his textbook reads more like a novel. The review books are so high-yield it isnt even funny.

I have been trying to get the notes and have found some good sources. What other books do you recommend for Step 1.

Thanks

what is the difference? I know there is chapter in genetic diseases in STARS but they say lecture notes are easier to read, is this true?

I didn't use it and passed. But since you already failed once you probably want to pass with the highest score possible, so I think you should.

Good luck! wink

I'm studying from Goljan Rapid Review 2004, and I have no time for listening to his audio lectures, is it enough to study from RR 2004?
Also, I have Goljan HY notes (scanned PDFs), what's the difference and added benefit of reviewing HY notes over RR?
Thanks

I have the audio lectures extract on two scanned PDF books, one for general and the other for special pathology, very good, without long time hearing the audio lectures, as I'm visual learner not audio learner.
If anyone wants these extracts (these are not the HY 100 pages), just tell me and I'll try to upload them.
Thanks
