Textbooks. YES! textbooks

So the thing is this. As a medical student (prospective) what comes to mind is...O my! which textbooks 'm I getting now! Especially when you are aware that some colleagues might have slighted you. Reading ahead, you assume.

Basically, the main courses usually include ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY and BIOCHEMISTRY. Other courses or branches also come up. Like - Embryology, Histology etc

I was able to come up with a common list of these "useful" textbooks, which indeed, I will also find useful.

ANATOMY 

1) Clinically Oriented Anatomy - by Keith Moore

 Now, most people might say COA contains a lot of irrelevant information...it's too big and all that. I think it's bulkiness is it's resourcefulness. And you can't underestimate the blue boxes
And mmm...it's just 1134pgs 















2) Gray's Anatomy - by Richard L Drake et al

 
3) Snell's Clinical Anatomy -by Richard S Snell                                          

PHYSIOLOGY

1) Ganong's review of medical physiology -  Kim E Barett et al

2) Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology -   Guyton & Hall                                                                              

  

3) Medical Physiology - by Boron and Boulpaep                                                                                      

                                                                 

BIOCHEMISTRY          

1) Textbook of Biochemistry - Vazudevan
