Advanced patho/stats

Published

Can anybody give me an idea of what grad level advanced patho or statistics will be like? I took undergrad stats >9 years ago and undergrad patho >7-8 years ago. I don't really remember much from stats and I remember undergrad patho was pretty difficult but I did well in the class. Is the class going focus more on the clinical aspect or also at the cellular level? Does anybody have any recommendations for books/resources that really helped them? I think my classes are going to be online.

I want to echo the Khan Academy videos. I used them in my BSN and they were great.

You're welcome. It's the best site! As for patho, we got a massive textbook the size of a small house that didn't do me a whole lot of good. Way too much content to read in the alloted time. What I did was break it down into need-to-know sections and then I watched a bunch of lecture videos on YouTube to really get the concept. There are some fantastic resources out there. Take acid base balance for example. There are lots of lecture videos out there. The ones from Khan Academy are the best. You can apply this to stats too. I absolutely relied on Khan Academy videos to get through stats. They explain things so well and it really sticks in your head. I ordered a book called Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple which was recommended by med students and it's a great book but I didn't use it nearly as much as I used Khan Academy.

Seriously, you're the best! Thank you so much!
