Join Date: Jan 2006 Status: Medical Student Location: Los Angeles, California    | Snell's Clinical Anatomy for Medical Students Keith L. Moore's Clinical Anatomy Frank H. Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy Michael Ross Histology: A text and atlas Langman's Embryology Di Fiorre's Atlas of Histology Lippincott's Illustrated Review of Biochemistry (3rd edition) Guyton and Hall's Medical Physiology Review of Medical Physiology by William F. Ganong There are some other books that you can only find here in Pakistan which you should get also, but they're just books you'll use a couple times here or there for odd topics. They're widely available, and they're names are sure to come up here and there. Btw, for second year, you'll use these same books. The only additional book that you'll need is a neuroanatomy book. A good one is Snell's Neuroanatomy for Medical Students. Same author as the gross anatomy book above.

| Hey MastahRiz the list of books that you have listed for the 1st year MBBS, are these for Govt. colleges or Private colleges? Since all Govt. colleges have same curriculum but private colleges work differently, they probably don't use the same books...so what's the case here?

There's very few other books that you could buy, most of them being local Pakistani books that you'll run across after you start. That list above though, is the main set that you can supplement with smaller books and review books to get you by.

| Salam, Just had another question about the book list above. Is that list of books those that will help us get through the first year of med. school or are they also helpful for USMLE purposes? |

Join Date: Jan 2006 Status: Medical Student Location: Los Angeles, California | Most of them are way too in depth for USMLE purposes. These are just the books for the first year of med school for Pakistani med schools. The good thing is, once you've finished these books, if you ever feel the need to go into more detail when you're studying for the USMLE from books like First Aid or Kaplan Lecture notes/Qbanks, you can always use these as references because you'll already know exactly where to find the information you're looking for.

| The above mentioned books are key to gaining excellent concepts and doing well in any school. But speaking on personal experience and receiving advice from senior Americans when i first came, i feel it necessary to pass it on to new American as well as Canadian students. This list is specific to first and second year students attending KEMU. 1. B.D. Chaurasia's Human Anatomy Vol. 1,2,3 2. Pioneers Biochemistry (KEMU group) 3. A Text book of Histology by Krishna 4. The professors of Physiology at KEMU has published his own book. Medical Physiology by Dr. M. Akram (before his book we all studied from A text of Physiology by Dr. Musthaq) According to the type of format which exams are given at KE these books along with the above mentioned are more than enough. Hope this helps. |

| Sweet, thx so much ali! Would you suggest buying these in Pak. or in the U.S.? It seems like they'd mostly be available in Pak. but I thought maybe I'd ask just to be totally sure  |
