Is that 8/10 hours a day? and by school related activities do you mean class+lab+studying on your own....or just studying on your own?

My guess is it's including lectures/labs for that school day. Most schools have 8-noon lectures usually, 8-10 hours beyond that everyday would be overkill.

Has anyone tried the Netter's flashcards for the iPhone? Are they worth purchasing?

I have this application. Bought it about a year ago when it first came out. Although I havent used it for class yet (dont start for another week and a half) it seems to be pretty good. It will quiz you on different things. It will give you the name, and you have to point to the structure. I'm hoping that it will be at least somewhat useful in anatomy this year. It seems pretty extensive, I think it will be worth it.

I wish an application would come out that would point to the structure for you to name and once you name it, you press the screen to reveal the correct name.

I think they call these "flashcards", they use an ancient technology of applying the colored juice of plants to the extruded contents of trees. Sounds odd I know but I used them and found them effective.

Seriously though this is how the commercial netters flaschcards are set up, they have a punched out corner and come with a metal ring so you can grab a block of them and hit them when you have downtime and avoid the nagging guilt of not doing anything

Thanks for the advice.

Mine were shipped on Monday.

For anatomy:

first time - skim to get overview and a hold of the terms
2nd time - do the same, but with Netter open
3rd time - make sure everything makes sense and all the relationships are filled in (example: parasymp/symp nerve routes to the various head ganglia)

4th time - third time repeat
5th thru how many ever times I can possibly do it before the test - memorize as much as possible.

We usually have about 4 lectures per region of the body, plus about 1 clinically-oriented anatomy lecture (usually a radiologist or surgeon). Materials to study from... ppt slides, typed notes, whatever notes we take in class, Netter.

how much time does it take to finish this entire process for one topic?

Absolutely not. flash cards are lame. Do the practice problems. The materials should have been memorized months ago.

you can quiz yourself . the second site actually points to structures with the name.
