Anatomy is polarizing. Some medical students love it, and others hate it. But it can be painless and even fun if you approach it properly. Here's how I studied anatomy in medical school, what I wish I did differently, and what I'd recommend for you.

There are four main methods I recommend you use when learning anatomy:
1. Textbooks - my favorite is Thieme Atlas, but I've linked other recommended options below
2. Anatomy apps - I went with Essential Anatomy and Complete Anatomy
3. Flashcards - Netter flashcards and Anki (either make your own or premade decks)
4. In real life - either cadaveric dissection or live in the operating room
