Advice for medical students
1) There are cheap used medical textbooks on eBay. I was able to get a current edition Rohen atlas in perfect condition for $20. It is an easy way to add a few books to your collection with out breaking your wallet. .
2) If you get to chose your anatomy partners, chose wisely. I have been very fortunate but I have heard some horror stories. DO NOT become lab partners with someone you want to date or are currently dating!
3) There are some fantastic medical websites out there for histology and anatomy. There are links from several SDN threads and the SDN links page. Others can be found by using google. Some of them offer great self-tests and quizzes.
4) Board review books are a great help summarizing info before exams. I love the Chung anatomy review and the BRS physiology book.
5) Take everything a step at a time and enjoy yourself. It is an amazing experience.
