Synopsis

Real life clinical cases for the basic sciences and USMLE Step 1

"This handy little text has everything you need to review gross anatomy...[It's] perfect for first-years just starting anatomy, second-years preparing for the boards, and third- and fourth-years going over their anatomy for their surgery rotations."--Kathleen M. Donahue, third year medical student, Midwestern University/Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine

"Learning on a cadaver helps you understand anatomy in 3-D; Case Files: Anatomy will help you understand that anatomy and how you'll use it in real clinical practice."--Brad Miller, Class of 2006, Weill Medical College of Cornell University

You need exposure to clinical cases in order to pass course exams and ace the USMLE Step 1--and this book provides exactly that.

Each case includes an easy-to-understand discussion correlated to key basic science concepts, definitions of key terms, anatomy pearls, and USMLE-style review questions.
