Keeping Anatomy Sharp

How do you all keep your anatomy sharp?

I am an MS1 and I finished my musculoskel block a couple of months ago... and I think I forgot everything already

Like most things....repetition aids in retention of anatomy.

I'm a PGY-4 and I'll still read the approaches the night before the case (or 5 minutes before the case). Even basic things like carpal tunnels and and forearm fractures I'll review if I haven't done one in a month or two.

what, if anything, did you do to stay up with it in med school? read surgical approaches or from here out do you just sort of learn as needed.

thanks for the reply!

I would reccomend drinking as much as possible now, doing well in your other subjects so your overall application is competitive, and have as much fun in your free time until residency. THere's a lot more to surgery than memorizing anatomy (but it is important)

Otherwise, spot reading as a subject comes along (using netter or hoppenfeld is usually sufficent)

thats a plan

I took an elective advanced gross anatomy course in the Spring of my M4 year. It was self study. I just dissected the extremities again for review.
