Case Files Anatomy (3rd Edition)

Description

LEARN ANATOMY IN THE CONTEXT OF REAL-LIFE PATIENTS AND PREPARE FOR THE BOARDS

Experience with clinical cases is central to excelling on the USMLE Step 1 and shelf exams, and ultimately to providing patients with competent clinical care. Case Files: Anatomy provides 58 true-to-life cases that illustrate essential concepts in this field. Each case includes an easy-to understand discussion correlated to essential basic science concepts, definitions of key terms, anatomy pearls, and USMLE-style review questions. With Case Files, you’ll learn instead of memorize.

• Learn from 58 high-yield cases, each with board-style questions and key-point pearls
• Master complex concepts through clear and concise discussions
• Practice with review questions to reinforce learning
• Polish your approach to clinical problem-solving
• Perfect for medical, dental, and physician assistant students preparing for gross anatomy course exams and the Boards
