Learning Anatomy

Hello Everyone,

Sorry to bother all of the busy medical students who visit this web forum. I'm an undergraduate student who will be graduating next year with a bio degree. When I graduate next year I will be applying for admissions for a masters in genetic counseling. I won't have time to fit an anatomy and physiology course into my class schedule by the time I would graduate (classes are already mapped out). Therefore, I'm in a situation where I will need to learn some anatomy on my own. I want to be the best genetic counselor I can be, so I feel I should have basic anatomy knowledge so I know the terms and locations bones and muscles that could be malformed in a genetic syndrome. Thus, what book would you all recommend to use to study some anatomy? I'm going to get the book through inter library loan so I don't have to pay for it.

Thanks in advance.

I think that most textbooks would be too detailed. You might want to check out a book called Clinical Anatomy Made Ridiculously Simple. I've never used it, but I have another book in the series (Clinical Microbio Made Ridiculously Simple) and it's fabulous.

You should look at the list of FORUMS.. and scroll down.. You'll find a forum called


Genetics
Discussion of genetic counseling and the rapidly developing field of medical genetics.

That's where you'll get good advice from other genetic counselor to-be types..
