Reviews
"One might expect a point-form coverage of each anatomical region outlining clinically relevant anatomy. What you get is a voluminous set of questions which cover the clinically important facts of each body region. Many students learn by taking and retaking quizzes, so this book is the perfect format for them." (c)Doody's Review Service, 2022, Brian R. MacPherson, PhD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 91 - 4 Stars!
