USMLE Road Map

This book presents a concise and focused examination of the essential concepts in gross anatomy. Through a streamlined and easy-to-follow hierarchical outline format, it guides students through the basic anatomical structures (bones, muscles, and nerves). After an introductory chapter on fundamental principles, the book reviews the major anatomical regions of the body. The outline is enhanced with discussions of relevant clinical correlations and an extensive and original illustration program that visually conveys the essential information and promotes retention of the material. Each chapter concludes with USMLE-type questions in clinical vignette format to help students assess their understanding of the concepts.
