We appreciate you letting us know regardless. Quick question, what textbooks do you use? I can't find it online. Also, looking at the schedule. Are classes only till March? After that it looks like research until late May.
We were given access to a google drive that had all of the textbooks that we needed. I'm assuming it came from previous students. Touro also has all the books online, so TECHNICALLY you don't need to buy books. But I started buying the physical copies of the books on Amazon just to reduce eye strain and it was just easier to mark things, quickly go to index, compare/contrast chapters and what not. You could also go to the library too
This is a list of the "required" books given to us:
- Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry, 6e
- A Color Atlas and Text of Histology, 6th edition
- Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications, 3rd edition, Haines, Churchill Livingstone
- Neuroanatomy: An atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems, 7th edition, Haines, Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins
- Guyton and Hall physiology
- Some stats book, but don't remember the title and lost the syllabus for the biostats class
- Netter's Anatomy Atlas
- Grant's Dissector
- Gray's Basic Anatomy
- Immunology by Doan, 2e
- Med Micro by Murray, 8e
- Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, 13e, by Katzung
I also have a list of books that I would recommend/found very useful, but I think that's better suited for a PM.
Yes, the spring semester schedule is correct. You only have class from January to March, then just research. We're all currently doing research right now. I'd say spring semester was a better simulation/feel of what medical school would really be like.
I also attached to this post our fall semester schedule, so you can compare/contrast the two semesters.
