Goljan books (Saunders, Rapid Review or RR) are extremely good, although his textbook reads more like a novel. The review books are so high-yield it isnt even funny.

Goljan Audio Transcript is a new set of Goljan Pathology Notes prepared by students...
This is a word for word transcript of the famous Goljan Audio Pathology Lectures for Step 1.

Goljan Audio - another review

2009-06-02T05:36:00.001-07:00

I want to share some feedback about Pass Program Video Lectures. Actually they are very weak in reviewing pathology. With this in mind, I believe that the best way to use Pass Program Video Lectures is to supplement it with Goljan Pathology Lectures.

Good luck!

2009-05-12T11:12:00.000-07:00

It is always useful when you have the transcript of the lectures. This is true if you are distracted easily while listening to the lectures. I do...
So using Goljan Audio transcript for Step 1 is the way to go if you can not follow audio for mroe than 15 minutes.
Goljan Audio Transcript for step 1 is in PDF file which means it can be easily used on any computer or printed so that you have your own copy of the Goljan Pathology lectures... good luck in tudying pathology!

Step 2 Goljan Notes

2009-04-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

Here is the question I found on one of USMLE forums:

::::::::::

http://rapidshare.com/files/108213754/GoljanNotesPart2.pdf.html

It is labeled part II notes and has Goljan's name on every page but I'm not sure if they're high yield for step 2. They're organized into systems instead of fields (like surgery, pediatrics...) and after some general view they're pretty much like Goljan's pathology rapid review.

What do you think?
::::::::::

I think this is a Step 1 Goljan Notes, and not a Step 2 Goljan Notes.

For information... to all USMLE takers.

Pathology Guy - Pathology Lectures (not Goljan)

2009-01-15T07:55:00.000-08:00

I have found this interesting site on Pathology - Pathguy.
He includes free pathology lectures, which might be useful.

This is not Goljan lectures.

http://www.pathguy.com/lectures.htm

What is Goljan Audio?

2008-10-06T00:03:00.000-07:00

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.

Who is Goljan or What is Goljan?

2008-10-05T23:59:00.000-07:00

Question: Who (or what) is Goljan and his (its) Pathology Lectures? I've listened to most of these (and love them), know little about pathophysiology, but can someone tell me who is this great man and what makes him "the best"?? He seems to be a favorite among medical students.

Joe> I say "what" and "is" because it seems like this guy has ascended to some sort of god among medical students, but I would love to know who he really is, find some sort of Bio., but Wikipedia and google have turned up surprisingly little.

Mark> Looks like he's Chief of Patholog at OSU. Have no idea what makes him so good since I've never heard his lectures (available on BitTorrent). I assume he's a good teacher.

Sam> His lecture notes are apparently very comprehensive but well organized, and his lectures are supposed to be very easy to follow. I think he actually holds a couple "Step 1 Review" series courses every year for 2nd year med students. I never used any of his stuff.

How do you use Goljan Audio lectures?

2008-10-05T11:36:00.001-07:00

Quick question to all the people who are using Goljan Audio Lectures on Pathology?
How do you use them? Do you listen in your car while driving? Or maybe you listen to pathology lectures in your favourite Mp3 player?

Or maybe you prefer listening to Goldjan on your computer only?

Share your experience with Goljen lectures.

Rapid Review Pathology (Rapid Review) by Prof. Dr. Goljan

2008-09-06T00:44:00.000-07:00

This text offers a comprehensive yet concise review of pathology while discussing all of the relevant clinical information. The review chapters in the first section of the text are in a user-friendly outline format with high-yield information located in margin notes and clinical topics discussed within the outline and in clinical boxes. The second section of the book contains two 50-questions exams in USMLE format. A CD-ROM that accompanies the book contains a full-color art program, 500 board-style questions and answers with rationales for correct answers as well as all incorrect choices, and a quizzing function that gives scores at the end of the exams.

Book reviews:
After reading BRS and most of Robbins, this remains the strongest resource. Concise for its subject, it covers the important aspects of path while digging for those little, annoying details and disorders that only show up on board exams. Goljan is a true pro at teaching this, with several years at Kaplan and Oklahoma Osteopathic, and he has constantly been grilling students for more information after they have taken their exam. Master this book, and you will not only do well in path, but also have a good foothold in other subjects like pharm, micro, and biochem due to Goljan's ability to integrate several fields into path. His work has continued to help me in third year rotations, as he also discusses diagnostic tests and treatments. The accompanying Q&A CD is unfortunately poorly made, but the quality of questions is very strong. I generally read Robbins or lecture material along with this text to lay a foundation for knowledge, but come test time, you want to cut the fat, and every word here is money. Try to get the accompanying audio CDs off Ebay for reinforcement. I largely credit Goljan's materials along with Robbins Review of Path (question book) for a 98 percentile on the path shelf and a 258 on Step I. This man may have taught me more academic medicine than anyone else. I truly hope you can benefit from this text as well.

Goljan lectures are really great!
If you don't like goljan switch to BRS. Both books are great.The only thing important is to learn pathology.

Goljan Rapid Review

2007-12-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Question: Since the consensus seems to be that the audio follows the Path Rapid Review book pretty closely, is there really a need to use the bootleg audio files in addition to the Rapid Review Path book? Or could you just go through the Rapid Review Path book without listening to his lectures and still get the same material?

Answer: The comprehensive notes that accompany the audio do have more in them than the Rapid Review book, plus there's the 100 page high-yeild, which is much more complete than the 36 page version.

Some have said that listening to the audio without the notes is enough, but from what I've seen, doing them together is more productive - especially if you go through the notes a few times before listening to the audio.

Rapid Review Pathology (Rapid Review) (Paperback)

2006-11-02T11:44:00.000-08:00

This book is the best review book for pathology. For over 25 years, Dr. Goljan has accumlated "insight" from students after taking their step 1. He knows what the boards people want medical students to know and everything that could be asked on step 1 is in this book...and as pathology accounts for the majority of the test, mastering all the facts in this book will definitely help you score high.
Rapid Review Pathology reads like First Aid and is loaded with high-yield facts, BUT like First Aid it is sometimes hard to read. It is written in outline format and is more like a list of facts (like all books in the Rapid Review series). In comparison, the BRS series books are also in outline format, but the bulleted points are in complete setences making for an easier read. Therefore, students with a weaker background in pathology will have a more difficult time getting through this book than BRS.
That being said, if there were to read any book in addition to First Aid, this would be the book. It is very clinically based, it integrates info from many other subject areas, has many high-yield illustrations, and has very good clinical vignettes. The book also has wide margins where you can take notes into, which is what I'd suggest. This way you can sort of "complete" the sentences and customize the book to you're own study/reading style (this is, by the way, how you should use your First Aid).
I read many reviewers talking about the Goljan audio, but I have a feeling many readers may not know what that is. It's audio files taken from one of Dr. Goljan's lecture series. It follows his Rapid Review book 90% of the time and is great in understanding many of the facts he has listed in the book. You can find the audio from online med student forums, however they maybe copyrighted...in any case, if you can get your hands on them and listen to them using this rapid review book as "lecture notes" you'd definitely do well on the step. He has a way of explaining pathology (and all clinical medicine) like no other.
So again, if you memorize and "understand" EVERY point in this book, and every point in First Aid, you will do well on step 1.
