TEJ,
IT SEEMS LIKE JUST A YEAR AGO I WAS ASKING THE SAME QUESTION. HERE A DMU-OMC MOST COURSES HAVE COURSE PACKETS THAT ACCOMPANY THE LECTURES. BOOKS ARE ANCILLARY. I DID FIND LIPPENCOT TO BE VERY GOOD FOR BIOCHEMISTRY. I PERSONNALLY FOUND THE COURSE PACKETS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT AND IN FACT ENJOYED THE CLASS BUT THE INSIDE TIP IS THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FOR BOARD REVIEW SO I DID USE IT ALONG WITH MY BIOCHEM NOTES. MOST FIND HISTOLOGY TO BE A BACK BREAKER AROUND HERE SINCE IT IS MORE OR LESS SELF DIRECTED STUDY. I WOULD DEFINITELY BONE UP ON HISTOLY. THE GARTNER TEXT IS USED WITH THE WHEATER'S ATLAS BY MOST AMD THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDAY CD ROM FOR HISTO AS WELL AS THE ONE FOR ANATOMY ARE EXCELLENT CHOICES THAT I FOUND VERY HELPFUL.
FINALLY THOUGH, REALIZE THAT HERE WE DO ALL THE BASIC SCIENCES THE FIRST YEAR IN PREPARATION FOR THE SYTEMS APPROACH WE HAVE THE SECOND YEAR. THIS FIRST YEAR IS VERY FAST AND VERY FURIOUS. I THINK I WOULD ENJOY MY PERSONAL LIFE BECAUSE THAT WILL DISSAPEAR PRETTY QUICK. WHEN YOU EXIT THE START GATES HERE IN THE FALL YOU MAY VERY WELL WISH, PRAY YOU HAD TIME TO ENJOY SOMETHING OTHER THAN GROSS LABS, OMM, AND THE INSIDE PAGES TO COURSE PACKETS AND TEXTS. AT ANY RATE I WISH YOU GODS SPEED AND FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH SPECIFICS. I MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO HELP YOU AQUIRE SOME COURSE PACKETS FROM THE BOOK STORE.
