Did anyone find these videos useful for anatomy?

They seem excellent for insomniacs: the guy has a nice, quiet monotone voice. I can't see how you wouldn't fall asleep...

I thought that the videos were great and he did a really good job of covering the anatomy. It's good for an overview before or after you study a section, it doesn't go into enough detail for most anatomy courses. It really helped me understand relationships. My lab experience was pretty worthless.

I got the videos for free from an upper semester though. Probably wouldn't pay 100 bucks for it.

acland is great for understand relationships once you're already familiar with the bones, muscles, vessels, and nerves. watching his videos should not a replacement for reading your textbook though. the guy goes through structures quickly, so watching the videos once and expecting remember it all will be like flipping through netter's atlas once or twice and expecting to remember everything. for me, snell (time consuming) + netter + acland (time consuming) = passing my anatomy class

Amazing review for the middle or end of the block. I highly recommend them.

how about from the beginning when trying to process things as you go along for the first time...

or is it best for review towards the end?

thx for the reviews

the videos are awesome, I actually met him last year, quite an incredible guy, and just overall a really nice person! His dissections are so good, it really helps you understand the relationships, however, the downfall is your cadaver will never look like that so sometimes it's hard to ID what he ID'd, but it's not a huge deal, still amazing set of videos!

I felt like the pace the body was covered was a little too fast for a first run through: I felt like the first step for me would always be puttitng in the time with Netter, Rohen, and BRS. I got more out of Acland as a review/integnrative exercise.

I'm sure lots of people would disagree, though, everyone learns differenty.

Loved Acland but not necessary. If you do get the videos, get a player like VLC that you can watch them on x2 speed.

I found that www.visiblebody.com was good for muscles/bones and the big stuff if you have trouble with spatial relationships and like to peel away layers. Super cheap too for students ($15 for a semester I think).

Netter is a must.

For written test, UMich Anatomy questions and BRS questions will almost guarantee an A on each test.

I LOVED Acland, though he is a bit like a more benevolent version of Hannibal Lecter. I wouldn't have bought the videos, though, but they are a great review when you have finished one section and want to absorb it better. Also good for when you have made a complete mess of your own cadaver, as we did.

bodybrowser.googlelabs.com is a great alternative to visiblebody, and a great supplemental tool for understanding relationships and locations of structures

I almost spewed coffee out my nose. 👍👍👍

Thanks for showing me up in front of doc2beIRELAND. I was just about to ask her out! 😡

If Robert Duval and Anthony Hopkins had a baby and that baby taught anatomy...phew.
