Chung's Anatomy Review
I'm a first year Physical Therapy student and this book has been really helpful in studying for finals. It has a lot of helpful clinical correlations along with a fairly detailed review of all the gross anatomy. Very helpful.
Get ready for straight bullet point details.
This book is very intense. For those of you familiar with the BRS series the golden books of the series include physiology and pathology. These books are very well written and easy to understand. This is in direct contrast to what this book is. I would compare it to the BRS neuroanatomy. These books are extremely long and very detailed! Much too long for a quick board review book, so don't be deceived by the title. I cannot over emphasize enough how weighed down in detailed these books are. Although high yield facts are present in the books, they are mixed in with very low yield subjects and this makes it difficult to discern what the most important things to remember are. In other words, reading this book is not going to be pleasant. After reading the BRS neuroanatomy multiple times, I feel like throwing up every time I consider that I might read it again to refresh. This book gives me the exact same feelings. You are hardly reading anything. It is just fact after fact given in bullet point format with no flow between information, making 100% recall almost impossible even after reading each chapter 3 times (unless of course you have idiot savant capabilities). You will definitely understand anatomy more fully by memorizing this book, but be prepared to make a major investment of time and effort. As an alternative, take a look at high yield and USMLE road maps.
Gross anatomy review
I wish I had used this book when I took the course instead of reading it for board review. It is fairly detailed and requires a lot of time.
BRS Gross Anatomy Review
Very succint review of all of gross anatomy. The pictures are okay, but you should probably keep an atlas of human anatomy around. The questions after each chapter are indicative of the questions I've experienced in medical school. Overall, this is probably the best way to prepare for class and boards.
