Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards: with Online Student Consult Access, 3e Description
Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards are the most convenient and portable way to review anatomy on the fly. This 3rd Edition contains full-color illustrations from Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, 5th Edition paired with concise text identifying those structures and reviewing relevant anatomical information and clinical correlations. Online access at studentconsult.com lets you review anatomy from any computer, plus additional "bonus" cards and over 300 multiple-choice questions. Netter. It's how you know.
- The front of each flashcard features a full-color illustration from Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, 5th Edition, with numbered lines pointing to key structures. On the back, concise text identifies those structures and reviews relevant anatomical information and clinical correlations.
- Pre-punched holes and a convenient binding ring make it easy to carry selected groups of flashcards with you.
- Online access at studentconsult.com lets you review the flashcards from any computer, and further test your knowledge with additional "bonus" cards and over 300 multiple-choice questions.
- New Clinical Notes help you focus on the most relevant clinical implications of anatomical concepts, helpful in preparing for the USMLE Step 1 exam.

Medical education is all about being efficient (as well as repetition), so these flash cards are a great place to start when you're an MS-1 studying the musculoskeletal system. I'm currently an MS-1, and found the following about Netter's:
Pros:
-Quickly learn all the innervations, origins, and attachments for muscles, as well as what passes through each of the foramina of the skull.
-The organization is great, the cards are compact, and you don't really need to carry around two huge books with you everyday. Great for the frantic reviewing we always do, too!
-I'd purchase these cards over the Thieme Atlas of Anatomy I used probably 2-3 times for about 0 seconds each time.
Cons:
While Dr. Netter has artistic talent, supplement your ability to locate anatomical structures by anatomy lab time, and Rohen's Colour Atlas of Anatomy. His paintings don't give you the proper depth, lighting, and spatial relationships that looking at real donor bodies does, and Netter usually presents just one to a few muscles on the entire arm, for example, instead of all the other muscles, tendons, vasculature, and nerves that are running about there as well.
Netter's got me through the musculoskeletal system and head and neck, but I used just Rohen's and my class lectures for GI and pelvis/reproductive. Combine Rohen's with Netter's flashcards for a really solid learning experience in medical school.

I purchased both sets of Netter's flash cards. The musculoskeletal flash cards were better for muscles & bones, and the Anatomy flash cards worked well for other structures. However, these were only for the structures that were listed on the cards. I made many alterations to the cards to compensate for the lack of identified structures. That being said, my previous method of making flash cards was to use Mental Case on the Mac. I prefer to use Mental Case, but creating the images with numbered structures was too time consuming. Using the flash cards saved time in creating flash cards for the structures covered in gross anatomy even considering the alterations needed.
Out of the box, these flash cards would be better suited for undergraduate level of study.
(+)
Good Quality cards
Clear & detailed images
Organized into different sections
Ring included to keep a selection of cards organized
Numbered cards so they can be put back in order
(-)
Not enough structures identified on the cards (for graduate level study)
-Images are the same as the book, but not the same level of detail.
-# of cards could be reduced with increased detail in structure identification
-with the same # of cards, increased structure identification could make them usable for graduate study
Some cards are titled with the structure identified on the card. (Had to use tape to cover the titles)
