HELP!!!!!!!!! It sounds horrifying. I am in an accelerated program and this upcoming summer we have to take Patho/Pharm 1 from May 8th- June 16th and Patho/Pharm 2 from June 19- July 24. Lets also keep in mind that I am also taking 4 other classes. I hear people in my program saying how Patho is the hardest course they ever had to take and how they had a hard time doing it in 3 months and they dont see how its supposed to get done in 1. Has anyone been through this and if yes HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for listening and answering!!!

I took a full semester of A & P I and II at the same time so it's do-able but very tough. Scored a B on both. Doing Patho in 1 month sounds very tough but short.

I took Patho & Pharm at the same time, and our school is breaking down Patho into Patho 1 & 2 and Pharm into Pharm 1 & 2 for next year's incoming class. They didn't tell us this until we finished (otherwise it would have scared us senseless! LOL)

So yes it's doable! I put up all my pharm study guides (3 in all) and I also have some really good patho study guides that I am working on getting uploaded to a webpage. If you PM me your addy I will email you when I get them up.

Good luck, you can do it! I got an A in all classes (and had lab/clinicals/Fundementals along with it).

I took Patho I and II at University of New Mexico at the same time in an eight week semester. It was brutal and interesting. I passed with an A in both and worked full time. It can be done. I had wonderful support from my hubby and had to totally focus and organize my time for the eight weeks.

good luck
