I still have yet to find the ultimate text for use with anatomy. The Moore volume is probably the best to use as your main text when taking either undergrad anatomy or gross. As with any anatomy text - you will always need supplemental resources - esp. if you are taking gross anatomy. The selection that I had always found useful in the past was the triple combo of Moores text, Grants dissector, and Netters Atlas. With these three you have essentially everything you need for taking gross anatomy - the embryology texts that are usually used for gross anatomy vary, but often contain the same exact info - I feel that is a more individual choice. I find the Moore text to be very concise - drawings are clear and well labled - good discussion questions at the end of chapters - and the book is very well laid out, esp. in the always intense head and neck. I highly recommend this volume.

I started our reading big Moore and discovered that it is quite wordy and slow to read. Overall not an efficient way to learn or use precious study time. This condensed version contains most of the information in big Moore. It has illustrations, tables, and clinical correlations. I switched my study method to reading this book (baby Moore) from cover to cover and studying it in detail. I then used big Moore as a reference for additional details and would skim big Moore and note things that seemed of possible importance not included in baby Moore. You can then use Netter, Grant, and/or Rohen atlases as a supplement.

Herrick Format:Paperback They got the title correct. This book is ESSENTIAL! This is the condensed version of Clinically Oriented Anatomy. The diagrams and pictures are taken straight from the bigger text, as well as almost ALL of the chapter material. It looks so much smaller because the font and pictures are a little smaller. Theyve taken out some fluff to help us keep our sanity. If youve never looked in either book, let me teach you of the beauty of the blue box. You will live by the blue box. These blue boxes contain clinical correlations. They bridge the gap between Gross Anatomy pieces-parts and clinical presentation. This is very very important if your Gross Anatomy class exams contain thinking questions and not simply what is this structure? Many of my exam questions have been straight from the blue box. The newest edition also contains a CD-ROM by Grant. Its a great interactive study tool. If youre getting the new Grants Atlas, youll probably get doubles of this CD-ROM. My advice is to get a cheaper slightly older version of Grant or Netter Atlas (things havent changed too much in the past few years) the new Moore Essentials, Grants Dissector (new or older), and Netter Flash Cards. Sounds like a lot of money, but youre saving on the atlas, the dissector, and the Essentials because its definitely cheaper than the full Clinically Oriented Anatomy. Good luck in Gross!

Negatives: - My classmates and I found quite a few errors. - Some of my classmates thought it was TOO concise, preferring the Big Moore. (My friend Jeff says this book is Big Moore with all adjectives and verbs taken out) - It may be small for a textbook, but a board review book its not! Basically, it was better than I expected. I also recommend the Review Questions for Gross Anatomy & Embryology by Gest, et al. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful 4.0 out of 5 stars Great new 2010 4th Edition but advertised online access not available yet!! February 8, 2010 By Sunrise Format:Paperback This is a great streamlined anatomy text that gives the key take-home points. The info is sufficient for most except of course the masters and PhDs in anatomy! The only downside is that, as of the date of this review, the access to the online book is not up and running yet (i.e. with the scratch code). I wrote to the customer service (thePoint) about this but have had no response in two weeks. So if you are buying this book to access it online be aware. Not sure when it will be ready.

I would like to also recommend Netters Altas of Human anatomy and Netters human anatomy cards Comment | Was this review helpful to you? 7 of 9 people found the following review helpful 3.0 out of 5 stars Good, bad and ugly October 22, 2011 By J. Sharp Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase Good: Clinical aspects (blue boxes) good for board review. Bad: Bulk of the text is just not written in a readable manner. Read Blumenfelds neuroanatomy text, or Grays, and youll know what I mean. Ugly: Mis-labeled tables, poor labeling of some illustrations, and some information in text either confusing or just plain wrong. Netters, Grays, Blumenfeld all have superior illustrations and explanations of them. Overall, a decent supplementary text, but infuriating at times.
