This updated second edition in the popular High-Yield tm series provides a succinct and well-illustrated review of gross anatomy in an easy-to-follow outline format. This book reviews topics most likely to appear on the USMLE step 1 exam along with clinical correlation and heavy usage of CT and MRI scans. New to this edition are additional clinical correlations, expansion of the head and neck chapters, division of the vertebral and spinal cord into two chapters, addition of summary tables, and replacement of figures no longer used on the USMLE exam. Designed to crystallize review material and key information needed for success on the Boards, this is also a great review book during an anatomy course as well as a refresher prior to the onset of a general surgery rotation.

This review is from: High Yield Gross Anatomy (Science of Review) (Paperback)

This is great for Step I. First Aid, which is overall an outstanding review, is weak on anatomy and neuro; this book fills in the gaps. Some like to say anatomy is a low yield subject on Step, and it is, but I got about 14-20 anatomy questions on mine. In the newest edition, the author does an even better job of putting some more typical clinical scenarios. You don't have to know every innervation and muscle, but you should know some of the bigger ones (like muscles of the quads) and commonly injured anatomical structures and their clinical presentation. This book accomplishes the above.

As far as using this for course work, it's probably not enough. But if you don't know something in High Yield prior to an exam, it would be good to fill in the gaps.

My only qualm with this text is the high price for the amount of material; I borrowed it from a friend for a couple of days and took notes.

This is an excellent source for high yield anatomy review. Its clinical scenarios, CT scans and other diagnostic images are priceless for Step 1 studying. HOWEVER, this cannot be used alone. An atlas must be used with it to completely cover anatomy. For it brevity and high yield info = 5 stars.

Great when you are cramming for step one and need to rememer all those things you have forgotten. I would not suggest only using this for anatomy during your first two years of Med School because it is probably not detailed enough as a sole source.
