Hi everyone! I’m the representative of pathophysiology of 2024~2025. It’s my pleasure to have this opportunity to share my notes with you all. Here are some tips for using my notes 🙌
My notes focus more on the pathology part rather than anatomy or physiology. I recommend checking out crash courses and other visual resources.
If you use Notion, you can save my notes to your own Notion workspace to add highlights, make edits, or collaborate. (Highly recommend Notion—it’s an amazing all-in-one app with cross-platform syncing!) I will also update any correction of the notes on Notion if needed.
The notes are organized by units, with random study tips and unit wrap-ups sprinkled in before and after chapters.
Diseases are marked in green bold italics. Key points are highlighted with bold blue backgrounds, while details related to frequency (e.g., "common causes," "primary factors") are highlighted in bold yellow backgrounds.
Red bold text means there’s a hyperlink—click it for in-depth explanations, expansions on concepts, or summaries (e.g., click a surgery name for its step-by-step process).
The case studies at the end of units and the learning objectives in the Frazier textbook are great review materials. Unlike multiple-choice questions, which only cover specific points, free response and case-based questions help you see the bigger picture and fill gaps in understanding.
Be sure to make full use of Webloom and reliable online resources. If the textbook skips over something, look it up and make sure you understand.
Keep track of the question you got wrong on any practices and review them once in a while.
Huge thanks to Lucia Shen, the 23–24 Pathophysiology Rep, for contributing some of these notes 🫶🫶
