New nom noms

I’ve started a couple new features and wanted you to be the first to know! Now there are two opportunities to get yummy pathology content delivered fresh, right to your email inbox. There are two separate email lists:

1. Pathology Student blog posts.
If you would like to get our posts delivered to you by email, then sign up for this list. Then you don’t have to remember to check back here; every time something is posted (which should be about twice a week, Monday and Wednesday), you’ll get that post by email.

2. Pathology Bites
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would send you a little yummy digestible boards-worthy pathology fact each day?  And wouldn’t it be even nicer if there was a reference in there too, on the off chance that you had a little time or energy to read a bit more? Well, there you go: over on the right, there’s a box for that.

Let me know if this is working out for you, or if it’s not (so I can make it better).

Happy studying!

Welcome!

Hello to all pathology students everywhere – dental students, medical students, nursing and allied health students…and to anyone interested in pathology. My goal is to help you study pathology by providing useful tidbits of information, tips on how to remember things, and interesting asides. I hope you find this blog helpful!
