I would say that's way too old. If money is an issue, you could get by with stuff from around 2014. I know a bunch of stuff that is 2016 editions are going on sale because I think FA 2018 will be out soon.
Oh okay gotcha. Well, in my opinion you only need two textbook resources (FA and Pathoma). I think it's easy to get lost and waste time with extra resources. Obviously if you have a very poor foundation then you might need some more help.
My medical school library also has older editions of classic texts and I asked myself the same question. So I viewed them. I found the ones that were >4+ years were dubious bc the content failed to reflect current diagnostic, treatment and/or evidence based data, e.g. genetics, ID, endoc, pharma.
Check the library books then View the most current editions online from your SOM campus internet system and get access to the publishers. That should help you answer your question
You're probably fine with some small review books on low yield subjects. But on important subjects or with a major text like First Aid? Hell no. FA 2010 is like a children's coloring book compared to the newer versions.
