goldBerg
MedMaster, 2014, 90 pages + CD-ROM, ISBN 9781935660194
An easy-to-read, memorable, and simplified format with clever diagrams. Offers a quick, high-yield
review of clinical neuroanatomy, but not a comprehensive resource for boards review. Places appro-
priate emphasis on clinically relevant pathways, cranial nerves, and neurologic diseases. Includes a
CD-ROM with CT and MR images, a tutorial on neurologic localization, and interactive quizzes
covering classic neurology cases.
B Netter’s Anatomy Coloring Book $20 Review

haNseN
Elsevier, 2018, 392 pages, ISBN 9780323545037

An easy-to-understand, detailed, interactive book that is an excellent companion to traditional text-
books during preclinical anatomy coursework. Provides multiple views and magnifications of anatomic
structures as well as dissection layers. The coloring aspect of the book can be highly beneficial for
visual learners. Contains few clinical correlations, which limits its usefulness during dedicated study-
ing for Step 1.

B Case Files: Anatomy $35 Cases
toy
McGraw-Hill, 2014, 416 pages, ISBN 9780071794862

Review text that includes 58 well-chosen cases with discussion, comprehension questions, and take-
home pearls. Tables are helpful, but schematics are black and white and not representative of Step 1.
A reasonable book to work through for those who benefit from problem-based learning.
