However, there are some GREAT resources out there to help you learn/memorize anatomy and remember it forever! In this video, I discuss some of my favorite resources and techniques I used to learn all of anatomy. Hope you enjoy:

Science is something I'm very interested in. I learned anatomy very quickly right before an exam the next day. Is easy to me because I'm extremely interested in human anatomy and physiology. I used to read anatomy books before I even pursued a career in medicine. So when I took the class it was nothing. I received A's in my anatomy classes. Now I'm pursuing the physician assistant path. I just love challenging subjects. 😊 The key for everyone is to enjoy the material and believe that it's easy. Your mind is quite powerful.

[@mariekimberlylim3535]

Definitely appreciate this content! I still prefer the old school method (textbooks, atlas, etc.) of studying all this material, the physical flashcards was a good suggestion too. A lot of people like digital flashcards these days, but it's just not my style as you said it has a tendency to present information in fragmented ways. I was so happy to hear how drawing has helped you too! I used to draw them for fun, but never thought I could actually use it to help me memorize structures. Thanks!!

first year med student who is not study in his country and actually study abroad, and when i compare your way of studying anatomy with mine I found many many common points doctor. (Except drawing diagrams which if I want to do it for all , it takes much time...) .I also use the same books as you did but unfortunately due to worse economic situation of mine I had to print the Gray's Anatomy for instance instead of ordering on Amazon. Also unfortunately at the university where I study, I don't have any access to any cadavers or human body to see what is there and memorize better and I have to spend much time finding good videos which are showing me those parts ,on the net ,,, but lastly you're a doctor who is one of my role models in this way and I'm tryna and work as hard as I can to be a guy like you when I'm gonna wear that white coat :))) . thank you so much for these USEFUL videos and info.

[@daisytilghman8072]

I'm a PA student, came across this video while browsing for advice on how students best learn anatomy as I will be a TA this semester for the new class. I completely resonate with everything you said about how you studied and what resources you use, the Thieme atlas is a LIFE SAVER for me and I prefer it any day over netter. Also, some of us still use textbooks and very much prefer them! Thank you for the helpful advice!

[@xyzxyzuvwuvw7633]

[@g.a.mendoza1064]

Same here. I have no retention reading it digitally. I need a hard copy of the subject matter and write notes. And that’s very effective and this is what I impart to my students. I love cadaver dissection, best experience than plastic and digital models nowadays.

[@DrJakub]

I can't believe that you're just allowed to walk into the cadaver lab by yourself in the US, that makes everything so much easier, here in Poland we were only allowed to study from these bodies during class so like around 60-90 minutes twice a week

I have an anatomy colouring book. It helps me remember by studying physiology at the same time. That way I can visualise the part and system working in the body, not working or malfunctioning.

[@701elie]

I have the Thieme Atlas as well, and I chose it over the Netter because its diagrams were more modern and seemed more realistic. The colors are amazing and it covers pretty much the same sections as Netter. At the end of the day, they all boil down to the same, as you said!

[@zionthomas6871]

I am a visual learner as well. Thank you doctor for caring about your patients. I love repetition as well. This is the only way it will stay in your brain.👍👍

[@spet2904]

I've stuck with digital textbooks throughout med school (2014-18) and beginnings of surgical training. Using that Ctrl+F for Netter's and Instant Anatomy (a little gem written by my anatomy lecturer at Cambridge) is so much more efficient than using paper! Controversially I didn't get much out of whole body dissections...

The gross anatomy lab is wasted on first year students. It has a more meaningful use for third and 4th year students going through their surgical rotations.

Since my classes are online, what I did ( I live in Ohio) I went to our largest med schools, CWRU and OSU. I raided their libraries for a few months. During the Rona' it was a bitch, but it was worth it. I've been studying my ass off and recovering from a TBI on top of it and have needed to find different ways to study. I do the flashcard thing, hand written. I also use my op reports and imaging from my ortho adventures to learn anatomy better. I keep reading, reading and reading. I also find its VERY helpful to read the same topic written by different authors. Its also very helpful I have a job that lets me read for 6 hours out of my shift.

I’m a first year med school student and you’re totally right: textbooks and atlases are way better. Personally I bought the Sobotta Atlases from Elsevier and it’s top tier, also it is what’s recommended by the professors and university. It’s so awesome that you could’ve gone anytime to see cadavers because here we can only enter during courses. Also drawing can definitely make the learning process easier! Once you visualise something in the human body, you can’t forget it. Consistency is key. Thank you for the video :)

First time taking Anatomy for my nursing prerequisite I failed because I got C and my program required from C+; I retook and rewrote everything by hand, and one anatomy word I had to write 10 times. I had no clue what I did. I spent time at the Cadaver lab for hours and hours and by the time I was done, I smelled like a cadaver. Sometimes my bottom shirt got soaked by the water from the cadaver tank. I had a hard time with arteries and vessels...I had a hard time with all kinds of muscles.........I repeated and repeated.....I got an A for that class. That was the hardest class I ever took. You struggled with English alone and yet another anatomy language.

I make a quiz with pictures of the parts of the body for example I make a quiz with scapula. I delete the latin labels of the bone one by one and after every one I save the picture with the other labels with a number for the picture. I number the pictures from highest to lowes number becouse in this way when I start to change the pictures the next one part of the bone appears and I try to guess it before I go to it. This method helps me becose first when you make the quiz you see the word you delete one by one and after you try to say the parts of the bone. P.S Before I make the quiz with the numbered pictures I read the text of my anatomy textbook and after every one part of the bone I search it on the picture which I go to use for making a quiz after reading. I use 3d atlas too but classic is better for me.

[@FacundoMD]

ER doc here ! I personally made sure to memorize all the structures in a specific location and when shown that area I know what are the things in that area that I should look for, then does it look like a nerve and artery a vein, etc. PLUS I used to google cadaver images on google and look at a bunch of them. So although I did not have time or desire to go to a real cadaver Iab, I would still have real pictures in my mind. GREAT VIDEO !

How much of anatomy do you do in dental school

[@choochd]

@@chiedzachogugudza1708 there is a fair amount of both anatomy and physiology but usually not to the extent of medical school? Some dental schools do combine their classes with the medical school. In my first year, we did cadaver dissections and had bell ringer exams, however, I would say there is a much stronger emphasis on head and neck anatomy. For example, we did not go into much detail for the lower extremities but you will need to know the cranial nerves in-depth and all the skull foramina and which structures pass through. Are you thinking about going dental school?
