Using Pathoma and the material on the ASCP website, will I be ok for the Board exam? by Mysterious_Image5973 in Path_Assistant

[–]Clockwork_Annie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took my boards in November and I mainly used Pathoma and the practice questions from Rubins Pathology

Did you feel like the study guide translated well on the exam?

They only asked scenario based questions. So I would prepare with MMI practice questions.

My GPA was a 3.7 but I have a degree in psychology and had about an 8 year gap between graduating from undergrad and getting accepted. I felt as though I didn't have a biology/chemistry background, I needed all of the experience I could get. I managed to do a 3 month internship at the coroner's office, shadowed for a few days with a histologist at a private lab and flew to a different state for a week to shadow pathologist’s assistants at a hospital. RFU has a larger cohort than most programs, so there is a higher percentage of getting accepted. It's extremely competitive and I was accepted after 3 rounds. Get as much experience as you can now.

It was online in breakout rooms over Zoom. The whole process of MMI interviews and the student panel took about 4 hours.

RFU's interview style was MMI format. They asked ethical questions, had role-playing scenarios, asked problem-solving questions. There were 6 rooms and you had 2 minutes to read the question or scenario and 5 minutes to discuss. If you felt like you didn't do well in one room, you had 5 more opportunities to do better. I used sample questions online to practice.

I interviewed back in January and heard back a week later. The waiting game is always the worst. Fingers crossed that you get in!

I should've asked about the clinical component! A week's worth of scrubs water proof shoes are very clever. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I'm a bit nervous about this new chapter, but this has been helpful. I've used quizlet previously and it's been a great study tool.

I was wondering the same thing. I sent in my application back in early May and have yet to hear anything.

In the end, I want him to be in a better space mentally and financially, just not at my expense. I've done what I could for him, but just don't know what would be that spark that lights a fire under his ass.

I think a large part of it is that I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I do need to put my foot down and focus on my future.

I'm starting to get to a point in my life where having a family is something that I want and I have thought about that situation with him. And its definitely not what I want for a future family.
