Best way I found to study anatomy is redrawing pictures! I had no choice because I had to draw pictures for my exams. But I like your way!!

Love Amboss but you will likely get destroyed in gross lab if you use it as a primary source. Amboss is very basic when it comes to anatomy. Books and cadavers inside the lab (netters and Rohan’s) and Moore’s outside the lab.

Also, incorporating Netter’s into anki image occlusion along with the Michigan blue link deck is a nice polishing combo. Finished gross lab with an A doing these things.

I am an M1 and I used YT and teach me anatomy when I was doing anatomy myself. I actually enjoyed anatomy Bc it was def a lot more visual than books like you said and I felt I was able to make more use of my studying time.

Great video!! I'd appreciate a video on how to study histology and embryology.

Anticipating!

Hi, I am a medical student and I could say your video are extremely helpful for studying. The most effective technique to study Anatomy for me is drawing everything that I have learned. Moreover, another one would be teaching others the subjects. 
I am looking forward to any new ways to practice memorizing.

Dude!!. I am just starting my Anatomy of the neck and head block. Wow, call it timing!!

[charleneh]

Your advice is 100% correct for learning anatomy. 👍👍👍

I liked teach me anatomy. It is great for quick reference/revision of anatomy. Especially the diagrams are so simplified too.

[albertoandrade]

My biggest peeve with anatomy was the sheer number of bs questions of my tests "how many branches of thid insignificant nerve pass anterior this artery and how many posterior"?

[daniellenewcomb]

Thank you for this!! I'm studying anatomy now and i need some study tips. I'm checking out that channel you suggested right away. 🤓💀

The BEST WAY to learn about Anatomy and Physiology is by first reading the Syllabus. Next, read the material (take notes) and then listen to the corresponding video lecture. While listening. take notes on what the professor is emphasizing. Remember to draw out everything that is being presented in both the lecture and the reading materials.

[nitinvenkatesh]

Great video! Would you be able to make one about how to study for histology?

[ahmedhshyar]

please keep up that study vlogs they are so much helpful

[hadjerchebbah]

I have watched a lot of videos about “how to learn anatomy” but in this video I found what I was looking for
Thank u ❤

[nikkinicole]

I want to take anatomy next year (senior) to prepare for college but i also have a 3.8 and I’m terrified to let it drop so I’m trying to learn it now. Inside the mind of someone who’s never relaxed ever

[siddhihegde]

Great video! Can you please make a video for the newer NBMEs 25-30?

Santiago,

Do you think that writing is underrated and not very talked about way to learn material? For example, when trying to learn new words, focusing on writing them out and spelling them correctly from recall causes a greater depth of processing. Like you said, when you take productive notes by categorizing the material by using "systems and hierarchies" it even adds to this.
