pastudent587 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I took physiology at community college and my professor was AWFUL. I feel as if I didn't learn anything all semester yet I was still able to get an A in the class. Her lectures were pointless and would instead lecture us on her irrelevant life stories. I feel as if this is going to be a disadvantage for me when I start school in January. I know everyone says to not study before school but I feel as if I should so that I can makeup for my lack of learning in this class. What books would you recommend?

hustleforthePAC Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hello ? i recommend Professor Fink's videos on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLekhl8ZQS2PYEupM94BGahXWjb93Ccn81 He has stuff on pharmacology and other useful science lectures as well, this way you can sorta rest your eyes for all the reading for PA School but also review physiology. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, physiology is somewhat harder to study for than anatomy. I would recommend cardiac and kidney physiology as probably the two most useful topics within the discipline. Not that everything isn't useful, but I found those two topics ones where a good foundational understanding of the physiology really informed the pharmacology, etc. of those systems.

Maynard Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple by Aaron Berkowitz. Get something to study the basics of the autonomic nervous system. The first couple chapters of Pharmacology Made Ridiculously Simple explain it pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirScottric Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have two resources I used for all patho topics throughout my didactic year. Osmosis is a succinct, video description of many common patho topics. I liked Osmosis because the videos are short and went into enough detail for all the exams I took. Calgary guides require a little bit of background knowledge on the topic. But, once you've learned about common patho topics, the Calgary flow charts are an awesome summary of complicated topics.
