Customer Reviews

I really think highly of most of the books in the BRS series. This book was an exception. BRS Physiology, BRS biochemistry, and BRS Pathology were outstanding and very pertinent to material tested on the USMLE. I even thought BRS pharmacology was pretty good despite others having mixed feelings about it. This book is by far the WORST in the BRS series that I have encountered.

Anatomy is not a heavily tested topic on USMLE, and the anatomy related questions are becoming more and more clinically based. This book lacked that type of focus. I found it difficult to read, with poor diagrams/illustrations, and filled with clinically irrelevant minutia. This book would probably be more interesting to those pursuing graduate degrees in anatomy...maybe as a review book for them.

So unless you have a particular interest in anatomy, this is NOT a good book for board review, or even as a supplement for medical school anatomy.

For board review "High Yield Anatomy" combined with "First Aid.." is sufficient.

For medical school anatomy, check out the books by Moore such as Clinically Oriented Anatomy and Essential Clinical Anatomy.

As a 1st year medical student at the University of Oklahoma, the 2nd year students told us "Memorize every word get an A; Memorize every other word, get a C." I'm a believer. This is our bible at OU. Live it. Breathe it. Shower with it. Love it. Use it as your pillow. Small size allows you to carry it to all social events. Wow your friends with fun anatomy facts. Quiz each other with detailed question and explanation sections. If you know Chung, "Joo know everyting! "
