I'm a first year medical student. My anatomy prof. recommended Clincal Anatomy by Senll 7th edition. I want to ask what's the best anatomy flash cards ? We're going to study the upper limb and thorax this sem. I want clash cards that will help me in these particular areas. I heard that Nettes's are good but I want your advice?

Love Netter's. They helped me KILL the exam on the upper limb especially.

Netters have been worth every penny.

I love Netter's flashcards, too. They've been very helpful so far, although we haven't had our first test yet, so I can't vouch for "exam-helpfulness."

As far as other books, most people in my school love Clinically Oriented Anatomy (Moore & Dalley)...It has all the clinical correlations by section and it's very helpful, if you have time to read it. I'm definitely trying to find the time.

A lot of ppl at my school use Netters... I have Netters but I actually made my own because the Netters ones seem to have unneeded information. I got muscle charts off the UMich website with origin, insertion, innervation, blood supply, action and just made a card for each muscle we studied. Obviously there are other things to anatomy than just muscles, but in the first block at my school if you knew the above-mentioned items for ONLY the muscles in the 1st block you would have no problem passing. Add in a little extra time to study embryology, ligaments, bones, etc and you're golden. I haven't gotten my grades back from block I yet, but I came out of that test feeling like I knew EVERY SINGLE THING

also... I assume your lab closes down a couple days before the exam so the profs can set up.. Get a copy of Rohen's Color Atlas of Anatomy for tons of pics of actual dissections. It makes life really easy when you can't actually be looking at a cadaver at the time.

I use Netters in conjunction with a pack of very small round colored stickers (slightly smaller than an eraser head). Every lesson, I put on a sticker next to the structures, muscles, etc. that we need to know. This is kind of important when you only need to know a few nerves and the Netters card is showing 15 or so or when Netters has labelled every scratch or bump on a bone and you only need to know head/neck/shaft (if only, if only)...

Your school had an exam that only covered upper limb? Man, that would have been sweet! It sucks how schools vary so wildly in testing practices.

You guys have to be kidding me. I wish I went to your school.

I memorized almost all of my block I anatomy notes word-for-word. You can pass with a 65% at my school, but what I'm saying is I bet I did much better than that. If your school has a musculskeletal block then 90% of the test is going to be being able to ID muscle, nerve, arterly, bony landmark, etc and then knowing origin, insertion, innervation, blood supply and action of associated muscles. All the muscle stuff was on a chart on UMich's website, and if you memorize that I gurantee you'd pass any musculoskeletal anatomy block (of course this doesn't include all muscles - i.e. head and some neck, internal, etc)

Ditto on the Netters. Good images and comes with a little ring to carry them around.

St George? Wow only 65% is pass?

A pass at SGU is 70%... I dont know where you got that that person went to SGU (never said it in any of his posts) and if so what that person is talking about... SGU has 1 midterm and 1 final and the midterm covers more than just the arm. Having essentially done MS1 at a US school and now in MS2 at SGU I can tell you that SGU is no walk in the park. Some classes at SGU were easier than the US school but for the most part they were tuffer. Most of the courses here are also better taught...👍 (but in the end it always comes down to individual effort)

I found that the netters flashcards were complete garbage..they look cool and look like they would help but in reality they just dont work. The key to anatomy is understanding the underlying anatomy and then knowing all of the clinically relevant info with regards to the region. The netters cards dont include this. At my school (SGU) I am very glad that the exams are very clinically oriented (similar but a bit tuffer than the UMICH practice questions)..
