TeachMeAnatomy for the essentials, and Anatomy at a Glance. Makes things so much more bearable. Have you tried Gray's flashcards? :smile:

Also recommend TeachMeAnatomy. If you have access to Aclands Video Atlas (or just find it on YouTube) then that's pretty useful too, much easier to learn anatomy by seeing the real thing than just reading.

I love Acland's video atlas! I find his manner of delivery inexplicably entertaining.

I got a couple of adult colouring books recently (for fun), and I'm really enjoying it, so I'm thinking an anatomy colouring book might be a good idea to revise for finals - would anyone recommend a particular one?

I'm still not sure about the order of my FP preferences, don't know whether to swap numbers 2-4 around and I don't know how to decide either. Can anyone shed any light on Yorkshire (especially South) or LNR (especially Northamptonshire)? Literally anything at all!

I found him super creepy. You know the children in leotards are his kids?

I also recommend https://www.biodigital.com/ - which helps visualise the muscles etc.

I did very little anatomy in first year, but I find this quite helpful, if I remember rightly you can use Facebook to login.

On the subject of anatomy, anyone got any really neat ways to revise anatomy.

During first year we did a heck of a lot of anatomy in 3 months then never covered it again, and I have found my anatomical knowledge is completely lacking in any bulk.

I am after something quick and easy to do when you have a spare minute, any ideas?

A little expensive but if you have an ipad then essential anatomy. Its great for MSK, and you can dip in and out easily. Less good for organ anatomy.
Teach me anatomy is also a great way of easily looking up MSK.

If my first two FP options are ones with high scores and my third one is one with a lower score. How likely am I to get into it? Is there a chance I'll miss it completely because people ranked it first and second but might have lower scores than myself?

I was considering putting a thames deanery first then a diferrent deanery second but now tempted to place 2 thames deaneries before my third choice.

Didn't Bob Acland recently pass away? Sure I remember our anatomy lead sending an email out about it.

That's not how the system works. Deaneries do not give preference to candidates that put them first. You will be competing with other candidates on an equal footing based purely off your scores. There is no need to rank 'tactically' and no reason to rank the deaneries in any order other than your genuine order of preference

Yeah he did, it's on the Acland's anatomy website. He made learning anatomy so much easier, RIP :frown:

Am I the only one who can find clinics painful?

Two patients in two hours. FML.

I dunno if it's my background but the lack of communication skills that some people have is astounding. Half the idea I've no idea what went on in the past thirty minutes so how the hell are patients meant to?!
