*I also used Gross Anatomy made ridiculously simple
*I also bought Color Atlas of Human Anatomy by McMinn, with real life pictures, not just drawings.  Came in handy often.
*You don�t need both Grants and Netter.
*I also used the MS2005 Study Aid CD, the Radiology CD and I tutored once a week.
*Tutoring was really helpful for the lab practical because sometimes it is really tough to learn all the structures while you are trying to complete the dissection.  I discovered the Dissection Software in the library pretty late in the course and probably would have benefited from using it more.
*Cross-section software  �Free in the library. Good for 3-4 points each exam�
*Embryology software �Used it, but it didn�t really help�
*Galen �Major, major resource. Did this at least 2x per exam
*Clinically Oriented Anatomy by Moore and The Developing Human by Moore and Persaud were a HUGE waste of money.  I think I opened them both maybe 2 times.
*Some students will say not to buy some of the required texts, but I found them very useful as an extra resource when topics became more difficult to grasp.  The Moore & Persaud books are well written, easy to understand, and have interesting case histories in them.  Just remember that if there is any discrepancy between what is in the book vs. what is given in class, the information from class & the Professors wins every time!
***Don't forget the information contained in these pages consits only of  the  opinions of a small group of students who responded to a book survey and their use of books REQUIRED or RECOMMENDED by professors, plus any other resources they found helpful.  It is not representative of the opinions of the entire class, the University or any of the faculty/staff .***
CIC BOOK/RESOURCE
A Guide to Physical Examination, 6th Ed. by Bates 100%
The Medical Interview, by Coulehan and Block 61%
Bates Videos 22%
UTHSCSA Physical Exam video 61%


*Bates-Must have-but try Half Price books 1st
*Don't waste time with Coulehan
*Just read chapter summaries from "The Medical Interview"-available in library
*Wait to buy the Medical Interview book, because you can buy it off some 2nd years
*Although many people will tell you that the Coulehan book isn't necessary, I read it just once, it was relatively interesting
*Don't forget to attend the Wit reading (or any special presentations) during the IPC portion of the course in the summer. If you don't, you'll be sorry come exam time
*Bates was sometimes a little hard to follow, but I really liked the interview book--the vingettes were interesting.

BIOCHEMISTRY BOOK/RESOURCE
Biochemistry, by Stryer 11%
Textbook of Biochemistry, by Devlin 17%
Basic Medical Biochemistry, by Marks, et. al. 0%

Syllabus 100%

*Don't buy the books for biochem, the syllabus is all you need. If you have to, you can get these books from the library!!
*Old exams & syllabus, period.
*Save money when it comes to Stryer. The syllabus is all you will ever need and you won't have time for much outside reading
*I would recommend at least one text if you've never had biochem before. Hopefully if you HAVE had it you saved the book for the occasional lookup
*MS 2005 Study Aid CD (for old tests and review questions) was tremendously helpful to pace studying & I really liked the Devlin text.
