This summer, I need to learn my school's MS1 curriculum, which is:
anatomy
biochem/mol bio
histo/cell bio
physiology
neuroanatomy
behavioral sciences
Pretty standard lineup. Should've learned it on the first time through, reasons why I didn't aren't important. I somehow managed to not fail any classes so the motivation is USMLE and also to be prepared for next year. I can only study weekday nights for about 7 weeks, although I should be able to put in a solid 6 hours a night + mass transit time.
I need some advice on how to plan my time. Here's what I was planning to do:
Anatomy: read all the blue boxes in Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy, referring to Netter's Clinical Anatomy as an atlus.
Biochem: nothing. wiki if necessary I guess
Histo: look at all the figures from Kierzenbaum's Histology and Cell Biology
Physiology: BRS physio + BRS physio: cases and problems
Neuroanatomy: what should I use? course book was Essential Neuroscience (Siegel) which was JUST HORRIBLE. I was thinking of the Made Ridiculously Simple neuro book + HY neuroanatomy + pretest neuroscience?
I got my act together before Behavioral Science so I don't need to study that.
What do you guys think of this? My retention from dissection is decent, but I stopped going to school events after anatomy, so there is basically no retention. I passed because I can remember almost everything I cram in a 12 hour session, but it's all gone after post-test celebrations. Are there better books for this situation?
