i bought langman's embryology (i'm an MS1) because it was "required," but i never used it...it's got way more information than i need!

our school generally gives us notes on embryology and i find that enough to study for our exams.

will i ever use this book throughout medschool (enough to warrant having a copy), or would you recommend I sell it? is it a good review book for the boards?

thanks.

I've always been weak in embryo, so I bought the book when starting med school as well. However, we had some great lectures on embryo, and when it came time to study for the boards, I just bought and used High-Yield Embryo instead. Worked for me. 🙂

Definitely sell the book if you have the opportunity. Even if you go into OB/Gyn, most embryo books are far to specific for clinical purposes. Also, embryo keeps changing as a field, so I'm sure that your book will be outdated and be shown to have a bunch of incorrect information in 10 yrs anyways. The first edition of high yield embryo is probably the best resource for USMLE purposes because it's the shortest. First aid and step up are pretty close to sufficient for embryo if you'd rather not have an embryo text for usmle purposes though.

I purchased Langmann's embryology during my anatomy-course, but I have to admit to not having used it as much as my fellow students. We were told to ignore the genes, but focus more the development of the foetus. It's an easy read book and most of it is pictures, so one can easily read 15-20 pages in an hour.

I don't know what advice to give you. I myself still have the book in case I might need it in the future.
