So while waiting to start the DPT program, does anyone plan on doing some anatomy review beforehand?

That is what I've heard too. But seeing that Anatomy and Physiology were one of my weaker prerequisites and I haven't taken the course in 3 years, I want to do a refresher on basic anatomy. So I ordered a copy of Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book. It's fun to color and allows me to refresh my knowledge on the subject.No. And according to current students, you shouldn't, because you have to relearn everything anyway

Hope this helps!

Some people are kinesthetic learners and learn better this way.An anatomy COLORING BOOK??
That's amazing, and I had no idea this existed.Some people are kinesthetic learners and learn better this way.
It's a fun little way to refresh on material at your own leisureThat's amazing, and I had no idea this existed.

Can you suggest a book regarding health care? Memory I hear Moonwalking with Einstein is good.I was told by multiple sources to enjoy my time off so I see no objection to doing that. Because I read a lot anyway I have been spending my days reading health-care related books as well as books on how to improve memory. Both will prove to be useful when the time comes.
I'm currently reading "American Healthcare Paradox" by Elizabeth H. Bradley. I find it to be a good read. Also check out "Inside National health Reform" by John E. McDonough.Can you suggest a book regarding health care? Memory I hear Moonwalking with Einstein is good.
I just got that book! have you started?Can you suggest a book regarding health care? Memory I hear Moonwalking with Einstein is good.
I was told to actually study ahead of time. If you know the entire human body, muscle locations, origins, insertions, innervation etc that WILL give you a head start. You will have a much easier time during anatomy. My last final is Monday, I'm gonna follow my class syllabus and learn the human body before schools starts.
Or you could not be a gunner and either have some fun or make some money or both before 3 years of studying like hell starts. Trust me, in the grand scheme of becoming a PT, memorizing random bits of anatomy before school starts will literally make no difference at all. Maybe it will make your first 10 weeks of school ever so slightly easier, but that is like 1 iota of all the crap you are gonna have to learn in PT school, and it probably won't be your hardest class anyway. A good third or more of what you memorize will be different than the way your anatomy professor wants you to learn it anyway, particularly when it comes to muscle attachments.
There really needs to be a giant sticky or better yet a big flashing banner at the top of the page telling people not to worry about this topic. Let your pre-PT neuroses subside people...you're in...it's all downhill from here, so to speak.
