Netter’s atlases and textbooks are definitely not selfish when it comes to additional resources and this flash card collection is no different. Offering the typical ‘ Student Consult’, you get instant online access to the electronic and interactive version of the atlas, as well as hundreds of MCQs. Essentially, they are tests that quiz you on the names, comments, and clinical knowledge presented on the cards, helping pinpoint any gaps in your understanding. Terrified of your upcoming anatomy exams? No worries, they have nothing on you with those resources! Pros This image by Andreas Vesalius shows “Nona Muscu, Lorum Tabvua,” [Rear View of the Body Muscles]. This work can be found in De Humani Corporis Fabrica [On the Fabric of the Human Body]. Published courtesy of the Yale University, Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library Time consuming and daunting, don't accomplish their purpose very effectively, several titles contain hints, illustrations are not realistic, problematic small size, organized by regions

Netter was skeptical of the claims of alternative medicine and fad diets. He wrote Fad Diets Can Be Deadly (1975) which debunked the misleading claims of fad diets. [5] Legacy [ edit ]Illustration s are not realistic - Ok, Netter’s illustrations are definitely top-class, otherwise they wouldn’t be so popular. However, they mostly depict this utopic anatomic specimen that simply doesn’t exist anywhere in the world. A lot of times, there are huge discrepancies between the illustrations and cadaveric specimens. Many times, students cannot even find the structures in the locations they are indicated in by the images. A lot of medical schools carry out their anatomy exams by asking students to name and describe structures on a cadaver, so it’s a lot more common than you might think. Not only that, but even the colours don’t really match either. What does this mean? You need to get your hands on more textbooks, more resources, a cadaveric atlas, and much more, otherwise known as: additional expenses.

Staff Finds: Netter's Clinical Symposia Illustrations and Other Publications and Pamphlets" . Retrieved 2020-05-01.Portabl e - This advantage shouldn’t be a surprise because at the end of the day, they are flash cards, so they are portable. While it is quite far fetched to whip out all 325 cards and start studying them on the train or bus, you can separate them into smaller batches and carry those with you instead, boosting your productivity and taking advantage of those ‘dead moments’ throughout your day. Let’s be honest, you can only study a maximum of a few tens of cards at once before your head explodes, so you won’t need to carry them all with you anyway. The vast bulk of Netter's illustrations were produced for and owned by CIBA Pharmaceutical Company and its successor, CIBA-Geigy, which has since merged with Sandoz Laboratories to become Novartis. In June 2000, Novartis sold its interest in Netter's works to MediMedia USA's subsidiary Icon Learning Systems, which in turn has sold the portfolio to Elsevier, which continues to make his work available in various formats. His Atlas of Human Anatomy and other atlases have become a staple of medical education. Born into a family of physicians, Andreas Vesalius of Brussels studied in France, and became a physician. He had no knowledge of Leonardo’s anatomical studies and illustrations, and was himself not an artist, but he was a great teacher of anatomy and received an appointment as Professor of Surgery at the University of Padua in Italy. Unlike his contemporaries, he would actually descend from his chair and perform dissections himself, instructing students and colleagues alike, and employing charts he had drawn to clarify the discussions and delineate the veins [ 14]. Soon, students began asking for the drawings. In 1538, Vesalius published his three charts of the vascular system together with three additional drawings of the skeletal system done by the artist Jan Stefan van Kalkar. This small collection of six plates was very popular and became known as the Tabulae Anatomicae Sex (Six Anatomical Charts) [ 14].
