Online Anatomy Courses

I'm starting my PT program in Jan. Does anyone know a relatively inexpensive online anatomy course that they felt really prepared them for their first semester of their grad program? I have a little extra time and want to get a little head start.

Also, does anyone know any good websites or books that they have found to help them with their O, I, As?

This has been discussed at length on here various times, and the consensus is:

1) Don't study before school. Enjoy what little free time you have left.
2) If you must review, don't memorize A, O, I, N. Every anatomy prof teaches it slightly differently and will want you to memorize it specifically to their requirements, so if you memorize exactly what it says in Netter, and your prof wants something slightly different, then you've wasted your time. Instead, just review to get the gist of where things are...memorize the 12 cranial nerve names, basic organization of the spinal column, major groups of muscles (hip adductors, abductors, flexors, etc). Don't worry about the details. There will be plenty of time to worry about the details in school, there's no use doing it now.

There are a lot of good websites out there that teach you human anatomy. Some of them are brilliantly made and you would find them very informative. In addition, wikipedia provides good info on almost everything. You should search google for the websites.

I'd agree don't worry too much about hitting it hard before going to grad school, you will get enough information crammed down your throat.
BUT...
I would say if you really want to get an idea of what is important and an overview of material, then buy a PT board review book (O'Sullivan, Giles, etc) and you can get an idea of what is important ahead of time, and also review on old topics as you progress through school...
