Hello!

What textbooks are osteopathic med students using during the first term? Any books that you found particularly helpful during your first term? I appreciate all your comments and help! Good Luck to All!

Most schools have different required books and even different classes so it may be hard to answer your question. I would however recommend any of the subject books from teh BRS series (board review series) as well as the clinically made simply books. Microbiology made ridiculously simply is a must! Good luck.

Thank you Amy for your reply! However I know that most schools use Netter for Anatomy Atlas, Moore for the anatomy textbook.....

Can any First Termers form TUCOM (Congratulations to all!) tell me what medical textbooks (name of author/s) you are currently using?
Are you using Netter, Moore for anatomy???

Thank you!

I am a 2nd year and the only books I used in first year:
1.) Netters
2.) Rohen (Dead body book)
3.) Clinical Micro Made Ridiculously Simple

I don't know if you're looking for Mare Island or Nevada but you can search by campus...If you want to know Mare Island texts, choose all "Fall 2006", if you want Henderson, choose Nevada.

don't buy a single book. It's a waste of money.

I read the clinically oriented anatomy text. Everything else is too much info. You don't have time to read textbooks unless you are super type A.

BRS Gross, Path and Phys are all great books.
Get an atlas besides Netter's (he's a wonderful artist but the bodies don't look like cartoons) get Rohen's or Moses which have real cadaver pics in them

Gray's Anatomy for Students
Anatomy Recall (in fact, the entire Recall series is great)
McMinn's Color Atlas of Anatomy

A lot of people swear by Netters, but I never found it particularly helpful. The illustrations don't look like what you see in gross lab, and a book like Grays had enough illustrations for me.

For texts, IMHO, it is hard to go wrong with Moore for your authoritative source when you have some obscure question. My school is using Gray's for Students, but personally, I prefer Moore's. BRS is a must have for quick reference.

Rohen is an incredible atlas - very helpful for studying for the practical. Netter is a stylized interpretation, but the advantage of this is that some of his plates can illustrate particular concepts better than a photograph.

One of the most helpful books I have ever used in anatomy is "Review Questions for Gross Anatomy and Embryology (Review Questions Series) (Paperback) ". Don't let the fact that it is like 13 years old throw you. Unlike most sciences, anatomical knowledge doesn't really change much in 15 years. This book is organized by anatomical region and has hundreds of questions which are probably quite similar to what you will see on tests.

I've found that a combination of both works well in our group. I always bring Netter and someone else always brings Rohen. Where one is lacking, the other seems to fill in. Both of them are better than some of the cadavers themsleves for finding things. Did you go to the review session this morning? Someone asked Dr. Orenthal if you could see the bursa in a dissection and he said probably not in most dissections and definitely not if a med studet's been cutting on it.
