I was taking college body systems courses at the same time as coloring in this book, and too many things were slightly inaccurate for me to continue. It’s good for the basics though.

This is not a coloring to relax book! This is heavy duty anatomy coloring. Lots of good info as well as identification. A good review for someone with some knowledge of anatomical terms.

A continuation of Sam's STEP1 prep / end of preclinical school reading log (because for all the hours I clocked in, you best believe it counts towards the Goodreads reading goal).

I didn't read this one straight through, but used it sporadically over the last two years of preclinical medical school to supplement my learning (also, sometimes coloring breaks up the monotony of studying). Will likely to continue to use this over the next two years, but as I am unlikely to finish every page, I'm adding it to my Goodreads now.

This is a beautiful and detailed anatomy coloring book. It's designed for quick coloring, so you can make the most of your time. I like the additional clinical notes.
