Pathology Residents

Text Box: The board examination is an experience for which residents often feel ill prepared.  This is not usually due to a poor job of learning pathology, but often relates to the resident’s comfort level with taking exams and test taking strategy.  Typically the only time a resident is placed in an atmosphere similar to the board exam is during the annual RISE examination.

The mission of PathMDTM:
Improve test taking skills by providing questions in board exam format.
Emphasize high yield board material.
Enhance learning with answer explanations, references, & test taking strategies.  
PathMD: Board Review Letter educational philosophy 

At present, several review courses are offered for board preparation by different organizations (AFIP, Osler, and ASCP).  These occur usually over a week, and consist of intensive material review.  These programs have their place, but we feel PathMD: Board Review Letter will provide a better opportunity for long term knowledge retention by stimulating learning in small packets over an extended period of time.  

PathMD strongly encourages residents to subscribe early in their residency to maximize benefit.  Again, the PathMD: Board Review Letter is made available at no charge to physicians thanks to the exclusive sponsorship by RedPath Integrated Pathology, Inc.
