If students already have a recent biochemistry textbook, they are welcome to use it.
Gross Anatomy
Required Texts:
Choose one of the following two texts. I have prepared two versions of the course syllabus with reading assignments for each of these texts. The faculty, in reviewing the texts had positive comments to say about both so I felt that perhaps we would let you each decide which one suited your learning style best.
1. Drake, RL, Vogl, W. and Mitchell, AWM. Gray’s Anatomy for Students, 1st ed. Elsevier, 2005 or
Moore, KL, and Dalley, AF. Clinically Oriented Anatomy. 5th ed. Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005
2. Tank, PW. Grant"s Dissector. 13th , ed., Baltimore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005
3. Cahill, DR. Lachman's Case Studies in Anatomy. 4th ed. Oxford University Press, 1997
One of the following Embryology texts:
4. Moore KL and Persaud TVN. The Developing Human. 7th, ed. Philadelphia: Saunders or
Sadler, TW. Langman's Medical Embryology. 9th ed. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins, 2004.
An Atlas
You may wish to wait to meet with your lab group before purchasing an atlas. The dissector is keyed to several of the more common anatomy atlases. We recommend: Agur, AMR and Dalley, AF., Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy. 11th ed. Baltimore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2005. This atlas comes with a CD of images and other useful features. Others may suggest the Netter Atlas, the Clemente Atlas or one of the photographic atlases. We will try to provide each lab group with an old atlas from last year’s class to be used at the dissection table. You should purchase your own atlas for use at home and for study and review. Check with the bookstore for prices and availability.
Medical Genetics
Required
Text: Thompson and Thompson
Genetics in Medicine by Robert
Nussbaum, Roderick McInnes, and Huntington Willard (WB Saunders, 2007).
This textbook is a good resource with significant depth. Students are
asked to read clinical case studies from the text for each module exam (4-12
pages). The 2001 version of the book is the same edition and is almost identical.
Recommended Texts:
1. Principles of Medical Genetics by Thomas Gelehter, Francis Collins, and David Ginsburg (Williams and Wilkins, 1998). This text provides a well-presented background of basic human and medical genetics.
2. Emery's Elements of Medical Genetics by Robert F. Mueller, Ian D., MD Young (W B Saunders, 2007). This text provides an elementary, clinical approach to medical genetics.
Medical Immunology
Students are strongly advised to purchase either the Parham or Abbas text; however, if the student has another recent immunology textbook (2003 or later), it can be used. Students should remember that certain content has changed over the past few years.
Required Texts:
1. Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System by Abul Abbas and Andrew Lichtman (2009) W.B. Saunders Company; 3rd edition ISBN: 978-1-4160-4688-2
This short book does an excellent job of highlighting major concepts. It was created specifically for the needs of medical students. This text is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to give a broad understanding of the material.
2. The Immune System by Peter Parham (2009) Garland Publishing; 3rd edition ISBN: 978-0-8153-4146-8
This is a new well-written text specifically created for medical students. It uses human data and figures where possible. Faculty will be strongly encouraged to use it as a resource for their lectures.
Other recommended textbooks (order is based on preference):
- Immunology by Goldsby, Kindt, Osborne, and Kuby (2007) ISBN-13: 978-1-4292-0211-4
This text is extremely well written. It provides better descriptions along with an experimental approach to teaching immunology.
- Immunology A Short Course by Coico, and Sunshine (2009) ISBN 978-0-470-08158-78
This book takes a very elementary approach to immunology and integrates it with microbiology. Students who have not studied immunology before may find it a useful reference.
- Immunobiology by Charles Janeway (2008) ISBN:0-8153-4123-7
This text provides a very detailed discussion of immunology. It includes many of the same figures in Parham’s textbook. If students used this text in a previous course, they generally like it. Students who have never had immunology generally find the depth of this textbook overwhelming.
Microanatomy
Text: Histology, A Text & Atlas by Ross & Pawlina. 5th edition. 2006. Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins. ISBN: 0-7817-5056-3.
Atlas: Wheater's Functional Histology: A Text & Color Atlas by B. Young et al. 5th edition. 2006. Churchill Livingstone. ISBN: 0-443-06850-X.
Neurosciences
REQUIRED
BOOKS:
1 Blumenfeld, H. Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases. Sinauer 2002.
2. Nolte, J. The Human Brain. 5th Edition. Mosby.
2002.
3. Kandel,E.R. et al. Principles of Neural Science. 4th Edition.
McGraw Hill. 2000.
Note: It is highly recommended that you purchase both Nolte and
Blumenfeld books. Lecturers will refer to Figures from these books and exam
material will assume you know the content of required reading from both books.
The book by Kandel et al is excellent, scholarly, expensive and heavy, Some
sections will be required reading and will be referred to in lectures on
neurophysiology, but we recognize that some of you may decide not to purchase
it. Therefore, several copies will be available in the library for those who do
not wish to invest in this book).
An
Atlas is REQUIRED and we recommend that you buy the atlas by Woolsey et al,
since this is referred to in that lab manual. However, the other atlases listed
below are also good. The atlas should be brought to laboratories. We recommend:
1. Woolsey, T.A., et al. The Brain Atlas. Fitzgerald Science Press.
2003.
2. Jennes, L et al. Atlas of the Human Brain. Lippincott. 1995
3. Haines, D.E. Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections and Systems.
6th edition. 2004
RECOMMENDED
BOOKS PRE-COURSE READING:
4. Sidman,R and Sidman, M. Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Text. Volume
1. Little, Brown and Co.,1965.
If you have time, spend 10 minutes a day from September until March, working
through this text. It will teach you the basic concepts and structures needed
for your study of the brain stem and spinal cord, and will help you once the
course begins.
STUDY
GUIDES:
Study guides are a very useful supplement AFTER the main material has been
learned from handouts and texts, but cannot replace the required reading. We
recommend: White,J.S. USMLE Road Map Neuroscience. 2004
Nutrition
Text: Medical Nutrition and Disease by Lisa Hark, PhD, RD and Gail Morrison, M.D. Third Edition. Blackwell Science.
PMR: No required texts.
Physician and Patient

Recommended Course Texts:
1. Medical Physiology by Boron & Boulpaep (2nd edition) 2003. Elsevier.
This is an excellent and detailed book of medical physiology with good illustrations. Many faculty will use illustrations from this text within their lectures.
2. Respiratory physiology: the essentials, by John B.West, 8th Ed. 2008. WoltersKluwerHealth/Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. This text will be useful to those who would like an additional resource for mastering respiratory physiology
