The only way I am passing anatomy...all med students need this.

[Maher Hadidi]

I purchased the 3rd edition of this book in 1995. I adopted this book for my graduate and undergraduate students and helped me a lot in my lectures. Its easy to sum your knowledge quickly and command updated clinical anatomy. Nearly all my postgraduate students got high marks in USMLE or in FRCS during 31 years in teaching clinical anatomy. It is a supreme book for preparing for the USMLE exam.

Didn't read this straight through, but it is an awesome supplement to lectures. The practice questions are great with thorough explanations.

Its fine for a quick anatomy review if you already have foundational knowledge, which is exactly the purpose of the BRS.

[Michael David]

The book merely revealed that studying Anatomy really has no shortcuts. Despite the well-organized contents of the book, it took me no less than two readings to internalize some of it purely by brute force alone. While I won't certainly brag of proficiency, I'm proud that I've at least improved a bit in my understanding of such a tough subject, and a good deal of it is because of this tome and the exams of our dedicated mentor.

This helped a lot for my lecture exams!!!! It is packed with amazing, tricky vignettes, that guide you of your weak study areas!! :)

Memorized this book and I still don't know anatomy. Oh well
