This is one of my weakest links - I haven't touched anatomy since the beginning of first year and never felt like I retained any of it🙁

What type of questions have people been asked in the past? How many questions in a given test? Is it usually a random anatomy question or one integrated into a clinical scenario?

Also, what book do people recommend using for it?

Bump. I'm curious too.

From the handful of UW questions I have done, the anatomy is given clinically. Often they'll present you with a scenario - pt having surgery in this area, what to watch our for? Pt lost function of this muscle after such and such injury, what other functions has he lost? Of course the stems are much longer than that, but in general that is what they seem to resemble. They definitely aren't just: the trapezius is innervated by what nerve? Hope that helps

High yield nerve lesions, muscle functions (especially rotator cuff and hand muscles), and the few common fractures when falling on an outstretched hand vs. off a stair, etc.
