Anatomy text

[DKCDO]

What anatomy text do you folks use?

Have you found Netter's, Grant's or a third party more helpful in your journies through medical school. How and why?

thanks

I liked Netter better, but it is a bit low on pics of the lower extremity.

Netter, Rohen's (Color Atlas/Photos), Moore's, BRS by Chung. All helpful in their own way.

Netter, Rohen, and Moore.

Chung has it's fair share of mistakes. If you can pick them out as you are going through it, you don't need the book in the first place.

I like Mini-Moore as it's concise and has great pics.

Netter, Grant's and the full sized Moore are also great texts for more detailed study.

There's also some pretty good websites out there:

Cyberanatomy tutorials - http://anatome.ncl.ac.uk/tutorials/index.html

As a 4th year DO student who TA'd anatomy for two years of med school, as well as did Anatomy research in Human Anatomy in undergrad, as well as taught Anatomy lab, you need:

Moore's Clinical Anatomy. The pocket Moore's will suffice, but for an anatomy dork like me, I like the full size.

I prefer Clemente's Anatomy (White cover) to Netter's. I think the pictures are of superior quality. Netter's is classic and you cannot go wrong with it, but I prefer Clemente.

Also, I cannot remember the name but there is an anatomy picture book of cadaveric models. It is good for some, but I prefer the "perfect" drawings than to sometimes shoddy real pictures.
