All killer no filler5
This is great for Step I. First Aid, which is overall an outstanding review, is weak on anatomy and neuro; this book fills in the gaps. Some like to say anatomy is a low yield subject on Step, and it is, but I got about 14-20 anatomy questions on mine. In the newest edition, the author does an even better job of putting some more typical clinical scenarios. You don't have to know every innervation and muscle, but you should know some of the bigger ones (like muscles of the quads) and commonly injured anatomical structures and their clinical presentation. This book accomplishes the above.

As far as using this for course work, it's probably not enough. But if you don't know something in High Yield prior to an exam, it would be good to fill in the gaps.

My only qualm with this text is the high price for the amount of material; I borrowed it from a friend for a couple of days and took notes.

An invaluable anatomy review book!5
This book is perfect for USMLE review. Dr. Dudek cuts through all of the fluff (and in gross anatomy, there is a LOT of fluff!), and focuses in on commonly tested concepts. I also recommend his high-yield embryology book for board review.

Good USMLE review book4
This book is not sufficient for course study, but is a very good choice for Step 1 preparation. Anatomy is a fairly low yield topic on the Step 1 exam and this is a good, concise review of clinically relevant anatomy.
