My advice would be to wait and check out the books at the libary then buy them
except the terminology book.
For orientation/ early in first term:
Medical Terminology: A Short Course 4th ed. by Davi-Ellen Chabner
For the first term:
As an anatomy text: Either Gray's Anatomy for Students or Essential Clinical Anatomy by Moore. Clinical Oriented Anatomy by Moore is just too long to read.
By joining SOMA you get Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy.
