Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 8e (Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Abbas) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0323222757/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_eCFntpmbNAyoX

I studied molecular bio and this particular topic really engaged that part of my education. Much of medicine is more art than science, but immuno is big time molecular bio gone wild.

Here's a great app for learning medical Spanish which is free. It has all the medical terms as well as a Dialogue section that covers a full H&P.

Hi there, so here is how i studied anatomy for 2 years:

• Books: I'm not really picky about that, any would do really, so just choose the ones with a simple language and nice illustrations, it's not about how big the book is, it's about how brief yet expressive paragraphs, and when you have that, you won't really need to write notes, maybe just simple pages of your own blabbering about it just to memorize better if you're the time to memorize by writing

• 3D anatomy app: i don't know much either, but i used this Atlas Anatomy App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visiblebody.atlas , most of them are organized system by system, this one really worked for me the graphics are great, you can see from all angles, hide parts to see underneath, you just play with it it's really fun to use, that's how it helped me actually i just manipulate it looks from here, this angle is great, what's behind this, what passes from here, what would it look like if i do this, ... Etc. It's mainly for visual memory, even if you don't remember the exact details, you'll remember exactly where it is if you're the visual memory type of person.

• Youtube videos: there's this Lyon university channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9LucUID-BUjL_c8oAT3vHQ , this is the English version, the fuller version is in French but it doesn't really matter, what's good about it is that they recreate organs and body parts in a simple geometrical way, explaining the most important parts of those organs, then recompose the whole thing in a realistic image, with a little explanation in the lower corner, and they're mostly short videos so no unnecessary talk.

The App and YouTube channel are what really made me love anatomy, and most importantly, don't overstress about it, most med students are told it's too hard and there's too much info and details, but when you make the learning fun it's really easy

I hope this helps!

Amazon has good sales sometimes. I bought Littmann Classic II SE for like 70 bucks, but it was a long time ago. I found this one for a reasonable price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0081DFEA4/ref=twister_B06XDHNZ3K?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

I found house of God to be entertaining, but also still relevant even though it was published in 1978.

Although I haven't read the others, they have all come highly recommended as well. I tried to include mostly books that were medical related without being direct non-fiction memoirs. I still included House of God and When Breath Becomes Air on my main list because they're so good.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to check these out too

You can do it ithinkPOOP! Focus, focus, focus - put away Facebook and all other bullshit distractions. Learn actively and read the book: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to learn how to maintain your enthusiasm as you solidify you knowledge of science and medicine and get ready to change people's lives as a physician. Behatzlacha!

Netter's Atlas is a bible, but it's too much of a cartoon to be of much use in cadaver lab. Deal with it, lol.

As far as actually studying anatomy, this is your Bible, your Qur'an, your Torah, and whatever the hell scientologists study...Peanuts cartoons, I assume. This actually teaches you how to think about anatomy and gives you the types of questions (with explanations) you will be tested on in class as well as similar, simplified versions of what you'll see on the Step 1. Don't use Gray's Anatomy for Students unless your notes really fuck you over and get you lost.

Review would be Najeeb/Kaplan vids depending on what you have time for plus obviously a high yield review resource (First Aid or Crush The Step etc) and lots of questions because Neuro is mostly application so UWorld and such but also books like Lange Neuro Case Files.

The one underrated book I think is Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases which you might find a 'free' copy of online still or: http://www.amazon.com/Neuroanatomy-Through-Clinical-Interactive-Blumenfeld/dp/0878936130

It has questions plus the explanations but it is a bit thick and contains some unneeded info. However for someone as bad at Neuro as I am, I'm gonna have to unfortunately read this and take the time.

How to dissect in general? Or do a human dissection? Honestly, we just used this textbook for our gross anatomy lab. I'm not sure you need much more than that...
