Anatomy: Keith L. Moore

Physiology: Guyton or Sherwood

Biochem: *shivers*

Pharmacology: I prefer Lippincotts

Histology: no one book

Embryo: Langmans

I prefer to get all my basic knowledge from those books and then crunch really hard with the Board Review Series to complete the recipe =)

Thought I'd share the list of books currently in use at Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon:

Anatomy - Rouvière (although I believe in Coimbra they use Snell) plus Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy

Physiology - Guyton and sometimes Berne and Levy

Biochemistry - Devlin and Lehningher

Molecular Biology - Cooper

Biostathistics - this is so lame that doesn't require a book. Anyway, I borrowed Zar's from my sister, and the teacher said it was ok.

So far, that's all I have to share.

You can use Levinson or Javets. I don't know of any others, but those two work perfectly as far as I've heard.

For those medical students in Pakistan...how did you pass a biochem exam buy just reading Lippincott? Impossible.....And is this Sherwood character really better than Guyton?Guyton v. Ganong? Opinions?Laiq Hussain is my principal....he wrote the GA/Embryo/Histo books that people usually use in Punjab...imagine my vivas with him......oh it was terrible.Langhman divides the evolution differently than paki books (Laiq or Mumtaz)..on exams we get asked what happened specifically in each week 3..4..ect...if you read langhman you can't answer that. What do you guys think abt "shortcut" books?
