Daunting and confusing - You’ve probably heard that you need to be able to walk before you can run. While some people will be perfectly happy with the style presented in this atlas, others will find it quite daunting and confusing if they start using it from the get-go. If you look on a cadaver, the structures are not as distinct as in a typical anatomy atlas containing illustrations. There are so many identical looking colours, structures, and appearances, that you might be looking at ten different images and seeing the same thing in all of them - a jumbled mess! This can put a lot of people off from learning anatomy, especially beginners. In this situation, an illustrative atlas might be more beneficial as a starting point to gently ease you into the subject. Sounds familiar, right? You’ve probably had this conversation with yourself many a time as you stood beside a cadaver or a prosection in your anatomy class. It all looks the same to the untrained eye.

This would have been overkill, and essentially useless, for my undergrad anatomy class.

In terms of learning anatomical structure, this is the 2nd best resource (nothing bets learning anatomy from a cadaver). Prefect resource when you can't or too lazy to go to Cadaver lab.

Regarding med school recommendation: I would definitely get this book and use it to study with from the start. I can't stress enough how important it is to look at real structures when studying for Anatomy. This is your best bet, 2nd to the actual cadaver lab, of course. Animations or drawings just don't really work well at this level. This book is great, because you can quiz yourself or just look up examples of different structures when you can't (or don't want to) go to lab. Do consider that it contains only pictures, so it is just a supplemental resource and you will need to use another text like Grant's Anatomy or whatever your school recommends to learn beyond strictly identification.Netter’s illustrations have been painted with meticulous attention to detail.
