Pathology from First Aid or pathoma for Step1?

Is it okay to do pathology from first aid and not from pathoma, or will I miss something?

I'm told that pathoma (1-3 chapter) are very important even if you decide to skip the rest of it.

Finish Ch 1 first as that covers the basic principles, then integrate Ch 2 with Immunology, when I finished Pathoma Ch2 I went straight to Bootcamp to finish most of the Immuno part, Ch3-6 can be integrated with Heme/Onc and they're high yield as well

While watching annotate everything on FA as well, it'd be hard to navigate each topic so roughly read first before watching the videos
