The Class of 2011 was asked to rate the usefulness of only those textbooks and supplies that they used. Scores range from 1 to 5—5 being the most helpful. While we give you the average ratings, keep in mind that this does not necessarily reflect worthwhile purchases. We leave that decision up to you so you can consider cost, convenience, and usefulness on your own terms.
Nevertheless, we at Feinberg Footnotes would have to say anything rated above 4.00 is a very good buy.

| Grant's Dissector † | Grant's Dissector (12th Edition) Patrick W. Tank † Recommendation: Older editions describe all parts of the dissection, but their page numbers may not correspond exactly to your current syllabus. So be sure you're doing the right part of the dissection! If in doubt, confer with a lab TA. The 12th edition includes illustrated identification tests (GAPP tests) that you will also find on your anatomy practical exams. The 13th edition lacks these, but you may sometimes find them posted on Blackboard. |

| Anatomy Gowns | Recommendations: AMSA sells packs of gowns every year. This is the most convenient buy. You should find that 2.5 packs of gowns will last the entire year without having to reuse any. Some students use gowns more than once (they don't mind the smell), so they buy less packs. | |
|||||
| Dissection Tools | Recommendations: Each group ("tank") should buy 2 dissector kits. Extra tools can also be found in bins in the anatomy lab! | |
|||||
| Stethoscope | Recommendations: If you received a free steth with your AMA membership, you might consider buying a better steth. The Littmann Cardio III is a popular choice. A steth that has both a diaphragm and a bell is recommended. | 4.95 | ••••• |
