Is it worth it?
If you're staring at a list of cranial nerves at 11pm wondering how anyone is meant to remember this, you already know the problem. Anatomy and physiology isn't hard because it's conceptually deep. It's hard because there's a huge amount of it, and most textbooks hand it over as a wall of text you're supposed to somehow absorb. This course is an attempt to make that volume manageable: a large set of lesson PDFs covering the body system by system, with labelled diagrams and a quiz plus answers at the end of each section. Used properly it's a drilling and revision tool, not a replacement for a real course. Day to day it's dull and effective: read the lesson, study the labelled illustration, cover the labels, test yourself, do the quiz, see what you got wrong, go back. If you're self-teaching from scratch, it's a reasonable spine to work through. The sales page is loud. It promises mastery in seven days, calls itself award winning, and says it was previously sold only to medical professionals, none of which is backed by anything a buyer can check, and the author's credentials are asserted rather than verifiable. Set that aside and judge it as what it actually is: a big, organised, illustrated set of study materials for far less than a stack of textbooks.
Pros
- Covers the whole body systematically rather than in fragments
- Quizzes with solutions, so you can actually check yourself
- Labelled illustrations are the useful part for memorising structures
- Cheap compared with a single anatomy textbook
Cons
- Recurring billing applies, and the page does not make that clear
- No accreditation or credit, it will not count towards a qualification
- The seven day mastery claim is not realistic for this subject
- Nothing on the page lets you verify the author or the award claims
What you get
A downloadable set of lesson PDFs, described on the page as over 3,000 pages, covering the body from the chemical and cellular level up through each organ system, plus material on drug therapy. Every lesson ends with key facts, a revision test and a quiz with worked solutions. Labelled illustrations throughout, and lesson plans you can use for teaching or for structuring your own study.
Before you buy
- Read the checkout screen carefully for the recurring charge and know how to cancel it
- Check the refund window and how to claim it before you pay
- Compare the contents list against your actual syllabus, a generic course may not match your exam board
Who it suits
Nursing, paramedic, sports therapy and pre-med students who need structured revision and self-testing, and anyone teaching themselves anatomy from zero
