Advice on learning anatomy

[Fyzzio]

... did all 109 readers of your post have a BSC from England?
You asked specifically for those people to reply, therefore< I think lots of people read your post and no-one dared to answer....

As for New Zealand, same answer as for PhysioBob.

And on a more personal note: I would find it incredibly difficult to learn anatomy purely from a text book and not relate it to anything else, like pathology and real life models, clinical presentations and muscle testing.


Good luck,
Fyzzio

I agree with my colleagues above,

In the Netherlands we were "forced" to learn it all as well. I remember a particular tutor (orthopaedic surgeon), who would chuck a bone at you during oral exams and expect you to name them all. If you were not good enough, he would cut out an add (cleaning lady, garage salesperson) for you and hand this to you telling you to try another profession. We feared and respected the man, and we learnt our anatomy.

Teaching has changed a lot since those days, students are now expected to look everything up themselves, the strict regime of learning your anatomy has changed. I do nor know if it is for the better. Time will tell.

Good luck with yours
