USMLE Road Map: Gross Anatomy

Rating:
Summary: Saved me
Review: A friend told me about this book- it saved me in Anatomy my weakest subject in school- it explained stuff better than first aid for the boards, great vignette questions. Friends said that nerve questions on the exam were similar to those in the book.
An absolute must buy!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent anatomy review book- especially for the COMLEX
Review: It is difficult finding an adequate review book for the COMLEX. The COMLEX asks more anatomy questions than the USMLE and these questions are often detailed. This book has excellent clinical references (like the Moore-Dalley blue boxes) and sums up the details you will need to know. It might be too detailed of a book for the USMLE since anatomy tends to be a lower yield subject on this exam. If you are planning on taking the COMLEX, however, this review book is a must-have.

Summary: A good review, but watch for errors
Review: This is a helpful book for hitting the high points of gross anatomy in a concise and easy-to-read format. Pluses of the book include simple illustrations and clinical correlates (and a lower cost than most USMLE review books), but that seems to come at a cost--there are a number of errors throughout the book, most notably regarding the nervous system. I would highly recommend using a different source to study autonomic innervation. Otherwise, this is a good reminder of those long-forgotten anatomy facts in a quick and easy format.
