I know it can be overwhelming when you find yourself staring at a couple of dozen PDFs, book titles, URLs, and other resources, all available at your fingertips and thinking, “What do I study?” I’ve been there too.
I wrote this up for my mentees, and hopefully others will find their way to it also!
It is a quick guide to help you hack through some of the overwhelm.
Here are the textbooks and resources that I found extremely helpful:
HISTOLOGY:
+BRS Cell Biology and Histology (a very useful book to read after you’ve read the powerpoints once, memorize the charts in here as well as the powerpoint slides)
+Histology A Text and Atlas (some professors require that you read sections from this text, the best place to turn to when you don’t understand something)
+One or Both Histology Atlases for Lab (I used both, the slides you will be tested on are taken from these two books, your powerpoint slides, and lab)
-Wheater’s Functional Histology: A Text and Colour Atlas, 5th Edition (this book will teach you how to identify a histo microscopic slide)
-DiFiore’s Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations
ANATOMY:
+BRS Anatomy (read everything, do all of the questions, and particularly make sure you know the ‘take away points’, ‘clinical correlations’ and the summary)
+Essential Clinical Anatomy (I only read all of the the blue clinical boxes)
+Kaplan USMLE Step One Anatomy (use in combination with your notes to prepare for shelf)
+Netter’s Anatomy Atlas (this is an absolute must for lab and theory. tip: don’t bring your Netter’s to lab, it will just get covered in human body fat… find one in the lab)
+http://www.learnerstv.com/medical.php (VERY good videos of dissections, my friend would watch these before and after every anatomy lab)
+http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/ (the best website for anatomy)
+http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/courseinfo/mich_quiz_index.html (You won’t find better sample questions for the theory part of the anatomy course anywhere)
+http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/courseinfo/mich_quiz_index.html (This site has anatomy podcasts, my friend used to listen to them all the time while walking to school and before bed)
Embryology:
+Langman’s Medical Embryology, 11th Edition (I had the 8th edition which was a small purple book – awesome for understanding the difficult concepts in the course such as the pharyngeal arches)
+BRS Embryology (simplistic and effective review… it is a super fast read for each chapter!)
EBM:
+We did not have any text for this course.
For Perfectionists:
If you have a specific textbook or PDF in mind that you want, post a REQUEST in the comments section at the end of the article with your contact info.
If you have a copy of these or other MED 1 books FOR SALE, post that too in the comments section.
If you are desperate for a book now and simply CAN’T wait, I have always purchased my books new from Amazon.com and have Amazon send it to the University Books Online physical address (http://www.universitybooksonline.com/MUA). UBO will phone you once the package arrives and confirm to forward the packages directly to the MUA admin office, which usually only takes a couple of days to arrive via FedEx.
Used books won’t be available long and new books take time to ship so act fast and check back frequently for new comments.
Good Luck!
