Customer Reviews

Good for overview and revision
These cards contain clear images on one side with arrows and numbers pointing at muscles / nerves / bones ect. The answers are then on the back so you can test yourself. They probably will not cover enough detail for most courses so you'll need you textbook as well. The website you can access with them is good as it is pretty much a digital version of the cards and probably easier as you can reveal answers one at a time. On the cards you sometimes can't help looking at the next answer which can be annoying and defeats the purpose of the cards!

The best thing you can have to learn anatomy!
I bought the Gray's anatomy textbook last year when I was in my first year of med school. I found out that it had a lot of nice pictures which is imperative in getting your head around anatomy. Ask any med student. It was good, but not outstanding. Then I decided this year that I wanted to try out the flash cards. And oh my god...they are awesome!! Not only the pictures are briliant, but it also comes with clinical stuff on each card which helps. They are better if you have the textbook as well. The online access is different to others on studentconsult.com as it utilizes Flash and you can zoom in and out, rotate cards, create playlists and so much more! Totally impressed on a job excellently done. Exceeded my expectations by a mile!

Flash Cards : Ok for testing
Greys Anatomy for students 2009. This textbook is fantastic and without a doubt the number 1 resource for Medical Students learning Anatomy. I naturally decided to try the flashcards that are available for this edition. If I am honest, they serve no purpose in LEARNING the anatomy, however once you have gained a good knowlege, they are a good means to test yourself. If I was able to alter their design, I would start with the poor RING BIND that you use to hold the selected cards, its very flimsy. Also the SIZE of the cards renders them slightly less usefull. Half A4 size would make ideal flashcards for revision and examination.

Dont get me wrong, this is a usefull aid, however they will not be that much of an aid for reference in my opinion. PURELY FOR REVISION.
