Dr. Goljan is a very well known pathology teacher in these parts. He used to teach for Kaplan, and now teaches for Falcon as of recently, as well as at an osteopathic school in Oklahoma.
Anyway, a few years ago someone recorded his lectures and now it can be found everywhere if you can do a good internet search for it. These audio lectures have been very helpful to folks because he teaches pathology in an intergrated fashion by tying it in to other subjects, like micro, bichem, pharm, etc. He also teaches in way that makes the information stick, and you learn and understand the concepts in a manner that you probably have not been taught before.
These lectures are copyrighted, so they are not available for sale on amazon, bn, etc. As I said before, with a good search you can locate them. There are a total of 37 lectures. There are also other materials from Goljan around, like pdf versions of his notes that were distributed to students in his class, also even his path slides that he refers to in his lectures along with his notes on them.
However, what is for sale, that you should be able to find on amazon, bn, etc. is his book titled Rapid Review Pathology. There are older versions available, but the newest one is quite good. It has a blue cover and is part of the Rapid Review Series. It contains alot of pictures, margin notes, blue boxes with clinical correlates, as well as lots of tables, charts, and diagrams. It follows the audio lectures pretty nicely, and many folks here have found this book to be very helpful. Goljan is also a co-author of Rapid Review Biochemistry, if you want to check that out as well.
