Gross Anatomy: Bryan's awesome links, books, and websites

One of the introductory, fundamental courses that PA students take in their very first semester of PA School is Gross Anatomy. Gross Anatomy can be a daunting course, very time consuming, and quiet possibly one of the most challenging subjects a new PA student faces. Or, at least that's how I felt when I was in PA School. When I return in the Fall of 2017, I'm sure Gross Anatomy, along with Medical Physiology, will be the two courses that will require the majority of my time and energy, if for no other reason, because of the sheer volume of material that each course covers of the short time allotted. It's truly like drinking from a fire hydrant; Trust me!

During the time I have between now and when I start back in the PA program, I have been working hard to prepare myself for the storm that is promised to come. Knowing the challenges that gross anatomy can pose, I have spent a significant amount of time locating books, websites, and videos that I have found to be helpful. As such, I would like to share them with you, the reader.

I hope you'll find these helpful!
