Product Description
Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fifth Edition provides first-year medical and allied health students with the clinically oriented anatomical information that they need in study and practice. This book is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of anatomy, presented as it relates to the practice of medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy. This latest edition is fully updated with new content and additional features, including new surface anatomy and updated diagnostic images, new "Bottom Line" summaries that reinforce important concepts, and new clinical "Blue" boxes. Two bound-in CD-ROMs contain interactive case studies, USMLE-style review questions, and layered, rotatable anatomical illustrations generated from three-dimensional models of MRI images.

 This is not a good text to learn from
I would like to preface this by saying that I am a medical student who was taught gross anatomy by one of the authors of this book. I can say with personal experience after being forced to use this book that it is not very useful as a study aid. As mentioned in other reviews, the pictures in this book are either poorly drawn ones of an almost schematic nature or overly detailed (as they are direct copies of figures from Grant's Atlas). The book is also not a very interesting read and has a cluttered organization. The book seems more concerned with being a reference anatomy text than a teaching tool, and for time-stressed med students learning anatomy for the first time, this is not a great approach. I think this is why they released a "dumbed down" version of this text (Essential Clinical Anatomy). As my exams focused heavily on the clinical correlation "blue boxes" in COA, I used it exclusively for that.
On the other hand, I would highly recommend you take a look at Gray's Anatomy for Students. I used that book instead of COA for developing a conceptual understanding of anatomy before entering the gross lab. It made a huge difference in my efficiency and confidence once I made the switch. The texts are entirely different in their approach. I preferred the approach taken by GAS over COA. The pictures were cleaner and just detailed enough to address the points of the text, and the organization cannot be praised enough.

THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OR AN ATLAS, BUT A GOOD TEXT!
Here is the low down. This book is not a book that you can even consider reading through! It is, however, one of the best references that you can buy. I felt like the text was clear and detailed on every anatomical part that I wanted to know about. In medical school, there were times that I needed to reference something because I didn't understand. This book did a great job of filling that roll. It is comforting to know that I have this one on my shelf, and I am still referencing it. The pictures are clear and informative, but it is a text. It is not an Atlas or a review. It will explain things to you in words with a few picutres to supplement. In hindsight, however, it wasn't necessary. It is nice to have, but you can do without if your class doesn't requre it.

 Excellent Text! ( crkurian )
This is an excellent text no matter what health profession you are in. I very rarely read the text. The pictures accompanied with the tables are basically what I used. You would see the picture and have a table of origin, insertion, action and nerve. If you really want to go into depth then you can read it. Moore did a great look at and then I would recommend a real life atlas such as Rohen to compliment the cartoons with cadaver pictures.

Clinical anatomy
This book was helpful in understanding the clinical applications and benefits in knowing and understanding one's anatomy. It made the simple and complicated anatomical topics digestible, and it helped organize the body easily.

Its got talent
Moore's Anatomy text was a great buy for me. I used it in my 2nd year anatomy course and am now using it in 3rd year anatomy. Diagrams are clear and concise and there also a variety of additional boxes which supply info about the types of disease/trauma states which significant impact on anatomy. A great buy for any biomedical anatomy major or medical student.
