4.0 out of 5 stars A very effective dissector; use it in and outside of lab, March 21, 2001

This review is from: Grant's Dissector (Spiral-bound)

I am a medical student at Texas A&M USHSC COM. This is the standard for anatomy lab. No other dissector will do. I say this simply because almost all medical schools will be following (almost page by page) the general course laid out within this text. I would not suggest buying the combo pack. In stead, this book is best used in conjunction with Rohen's (Color Atlas of Anatomy: A Photographic Study of the Human Body), Netter's (Atlas of Human Anatomy), and Moore (Clinically Oriented Anatomy). *Using the dissector to do a virtual dissection at home with your Rohen every night before lab will greatly increase your yield and decrease your lab time. This is a very important point (as anyone who has been through this part of medical school can tell you). --> You will need a CLEAN copy for home use. You should consider this even if you have to buy a spare <-- There are some errors in the dissector, but they are of no consequence as long as you use it in conjunction with the other texts mentioned above.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for gross anatomy lab, September 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Grant's Dissector (Spiral-bound)

I'm a med student and used this book for my gross anatomy lab and it was quite helpful. I did have to reference Netter's Atlas along with this to get a deeper understanding of the subject matter. However, I do recommend Grant's Dissector book because without it, I found that I was totally lost in my dissection lab. This book showed me more instruction on how to dissect then just listening to my lab instructor. For my gross anatomy exams , I also used the following which is on amazon: Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi. This study guide helped me to prepare for the type of questions that were asked on the test. My friends told me about this book from another med school. In conclusion, I recommend the following for gross anatomy class: Grant's Dissector, Netter's Atlas, and Spinal Anatomy Study Guide:Key Review Questions and Answers

1.0 out of 5 stars pass on this one, December 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Grant's Dissector (Spiral-bound)

I used Netter's and Rohen's to study the dissection at home the night before. Our table had the Grant's at the table, and it was rarely useful. We usually looked at the Netter's at the next table, and it became a running joke to make fun of the Grant's.
Get the Netter's if you prefer drawings, or the Rohen's if you prefer pictures. I liked studying the Netter's and then looking at the Rohen's. Then I went into the lab and recognized the structures from my personal study. Grant's won't help you to do that much.
