Additional books people recommend

[gpatel162]

Hey everyone! I'll be attending St Matthews in August and just wanted to know from current students, alumni or anyone in general, if you can recommend additional textbooks. I wouldnt mind any input from the guy who got a 99%...congrats...pass some wisdom on how to do that besides studying alot to us....

thanks

Hey, Welcome to SMU and hope to see you here-soon!!



Anatomy: BRS, Netter's (optional- Netter's flash cards and RRS)

Embryo-BRS

Histo- BRS...(if you dont have any background, the required book is an excellent book.

This is all I am using and I am honoring all my classes. Keep in mind that you will be incorporating the Power points slides from lecture
Good luck

Hey gpatel,

I'm with Nimmuk for the most part:

Anatomy: BRS and Netter's (Netter's is an anatomy pictoral powerhouse!)
Embryo: BRS (although I've used it all of once) go with the class slides
Histo: BRS (used this once as well)go with the class notes.

Hope this helps...take care!

What is BRS? Board Review S? Are these books part of the booklist or are they supplemental books that we have to find ourselves.

[Jeep23Guy]

BRS = Board Review Series...you should probably buy these books for every class you're going to take.

I'm looking at the second semester books and wondering about the Brainstorm Neuro CD. Does anybody have it and should I get it? Do they have it in the library?

Although I do not attend SMU, let me just say that it is very poor form to use BRS as your main learning source. By all means, use it for review, but as an intitial learning source, I recommend using a real book.

Anatomy: I would use "Baby" Moore.. AKA smaller moore. You also need a Netters, that is one book no med student should be without.

Embryo: I highly recommend langman's. I loved it and it was an easy read, not too convoluted.

Histo: Wheater's is the shizznit. great pics.

What books do you guys recommend for Biostatistics and Epidemiology?

Thanks

[sweetpea]

the appleton and langes review of e[idemiology and biostats is the required book and that is all you will need with the addition of lecture notes.

For my recommended books. I recommend for Embryology "The Developing Human" by Moore. I think that Bruse Carlson's " human embryology and developmental biology" was a okay source but considering that my professor quoted more info from Moore. I would go with Moore.

For anatomy, I will agree that having Rohen and Netters Atlas of the HUman Body is a real advantage.
I have the larger Anatomy Moore book, and I like the clinical sources in the book and questions in the back. but others like the smaller edition.

For HIstology, I have Junqueira Basic Histology. and it works for me.

Is the required book (Essential Clinical Anatomy) for anatomy baby Moore or Big Moore.

[Knight007]

The Required Essentical Clinical Anatomy by Moore is the concise or smaller version.
