5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Read and Very Useful, July 29, 2010

This review is from: Mnemonics and Study Tips for Medical Students, Two Zebras Borrowed My Car (A Hodder Arnold Publication) (Paperback)

I purchased this to primarily help remember anatomical references and it's a great read so far! It's very simple and to the point with loads of mnemonics, some of which I thought I made up on my own (iPmat for mitosis). My favorite mnemonic so far is "ABCD Bitches!" lol. It's a mnemonic to help recognize melanomas.

This book is not designed to teach or explain information, but only to help you remember the facts that you have been taught. There are 3 sections: Basic Sciences, Clinical Sciences, and Study Tips. Each section is further divided by science or specialty, then further organized where appropriate like General, Ortho, ENT, and Optho for the Surgery Chapter. There are a few small drawings, but it's pretty much a list of mnemonics with maybe a 1 or 2 sentence explanation for each memory aide.

I'll admit, I read many that I was familiar with like ('APGAR' and 'Point n Shoot'), but it's nice to have them condensed in small book. To sum it up, this is one of those books that would be useful through-out all of medical school and probably other allied healthcare schools. The price was't too bad either, though $10 would have been perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book and small enough to carry around, February 13, 2008

This review is from: Mnemonics for Medical Students (Paperback)

I'm a medical student and I found this book very useful. It's small enough for me to carry with me in my clinic coat pocket and review when I'm not shadowing other students who are seeing patients.
