How students use this book
Pathology textbooks reward repeated, layered reading: skim the whole chapter, then read in depth, then quiz yourself with end-of-chapter questions. Pair print reading with Pathoma video lectures (most US M2 students do) to reinforce concepts through different modalities. For USMLE Step 1 prep, focus on the high-yield disease processes (cardiac, pulm, GI, renal, neuro) — these subjects account for ~70% of pathology items on the exam.
