I start PT school next month and my school has given me a book list for classes. For anatomy, school has given me a list of different atlases to chose from to buy. Out of them, I am stuck between buying Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy (co-workers have advocated for it) and Rohen’s Color Atlas of Anatomy (a current student advocated for a book she has that has cadaver pictures, which I see this one has). does anyone have any opinions on these two books?
 
The Netter atlas in my opinion is the cream of the crop hands down
 
Buy a cheap "old" one for $1. They have not changed much for the last 20 years. You may not want a book at all if you prefer to look things up online.
 
anatomy hasn't changed really in 15000 years so . . . old is fine as long as all of the pages are there. 🙂
