 Gray's anatomy? June 30, 2007

I cannot fathom why this text is called "GRAY'S ANATOMY for Students," as it bears no relation to the original text. As I prepare for my 1st gross anatomy exam, I can't imagine how the little information in this text will give me anywhere near a deep enough understanding of the material. And the illustrations! What happened to the beautiful, original Gray's illustrations? This book is little more than a glorified Atlas of Anatomy, and I find Grant's Atlas a much more useful resource.
Anatomy texts just don't come any better than this one. April 19, 2007

At UCSD we take Human anatomy in the fall of our second year of medical school. Typically our faculty recommend a different text and I bought that book and used it for our first section, thorax. I wasn't impressed and so I started shopping around for a more student friendly resource. The Gray's Anatomy for Medical Students was just what I was looking for.
The front cover pulls you in as it sits there on the dining room table; it is just easier to start reading a book that looks like it has good pictures. When you open it up, you aren't disappointed. From the beautiful large illustrations to high quality radiographs, I was consistently satisfied with the attention that had been put into integrating structure with clinical relavance. I loved the color coded sections and the good sized, easy to read print. It is amazing to me how often publishers forget that med students read all the time and our eyes get tired. It is refreshing to pick up a course text and not have to squint to read it. Many of my classmates who had stuck with the faculty recommended text were envious of my beautiful, easy to read Gray's for Med Students.
On top of these obvious benefits, the text organizes the material in way that facilitates learning. Each section begins with a conceptual over view, the "Big Picture, and then gradually pares down the material by regional anatomy. The surface anatomy part of each section is extremely useful when trying to integrate your anatomy with physical exams and living bodies. Additionally, each section concludes with clinical cases that reinforce and highlight concepts that are essential for real world medicine and surgery.
The online Student Consult access was just icing on the cake. It was great to be able to search my text book from any computer regardless of if I had my text with me. I also liked being able to print images from the text for writing study notes.
Overall, I was extremely happy with this text for my medical school anatomy course. I've already been using it to review anatomy for the USMLE Step 1 and I'm looking forward to cracking it open again for a refresher on my surgery rotation this next year. I highly recommend this book!
 Good companion to anatomy, but not stellar. January 15, 2007

Dense book with excellent illustrations and good text. Helpful but lacking solid overviews at the beginning of chapters and connections between systems. Also not very helpful index. I would look elsewhere for another text to accompany this one or perhaps a better all-around text.
Excellent January 3, 2007

Written in a logic way, so understanding anatomy is easier and more fun, and it is more than just memorising names. Excellent book when you are learning human anatomy for the first time.
