Online Anatomy Lectures

[hastin11]

Does anyone know if there are any online video, fairly-detailed anatomy lectures? I was wondering of maybe some school put all their lectures online (and they were good). I want to learn anatomy, maybe over the summer, but really dont want to drive to a university all the time to do it.

I know our anatomy videos at Dal are available at the library, though I'm not sure non-students can get them (probably?). I'm not sure whether they'd be all that useful, though, as they're designed to supplement lectures and lab. The videos are not available online for the general public to my knowledge.

You might consider www.anatomy.tv though.

HEy.. I'm really sorry about posting this here.. But I didn't want to make a new thread.. I tried to look for this info, but couldn't find it.



Do most Canadian med schools require 60% of full course to be corresponding to the year you're in? (So,,, for year 2, min 60% of year 2 courses, .. for year 3, and 4, take 60% of senior courses???) so for year 4, you could take 60% using the year 3 courses right????

Does U.S do the same thing with 60% thing???


Could you please confirm whether this is correct.. As I really need this information before this Sunday.. Sunday is my last day to drop courses.


I just didn't think this was a new-thread worthy.. so please help...

disclaimer - this is not career advice and should not be taken as such.

60% of courses corresponding to the current year of study means: 3/5 courses in year 2 should be 2nd year level or above; 3/5 courses in year 3 should be 3rd year level or above; 3/5 courses in year 4 should be 4th year level (assuming 4 year degree, 5 courses = 100%)

"so for year 4, you could take 60% using the year 3 courses right????" is probably incorrect, unless there is no distinction between 3rd and 4th year level courses at your institution.

it looks a bit weird if you claim to be in 3rd year, for example, but most of your courses are 2nd year or below.

there is usually a reason for the year level stratification. senior level courses, 4th year level courses especially (at my alma mater anyway), have a very different focus than 1st and 2nd year courses in that you must think about the topic and synthesize your own ideas, not just "binge" memorized information of which you don't have to understand. cases in point: seminars, article critiques, mechanisms and predictions, theses and research projects.

if you are considering "babying" your undergrad courses to inflate your GPA, i very strongly advise against it, for many reasons. i assume this is self-explanatory and therefore i will not discuss this further.

Hi jh,

In an effort to keep the forums tidy... Please start a new thread (or better yet, do a search for an old thread on the same topic, and add to that) rather than posting a question not related to the original thread topic.

Thanks for understanding, and best wishes with your decision.

actually 3rd & 4th yr courses are both senior level...so as long as 60% of ur courses are senior level in 3rd and 4th years, u should be fine for western. that said, i think uwo is the only school which requires this...most other schools don't care too much exactly how many courses are what level, but obviously it's still not a good idea to take mostly 1st & 2nd yr courses in 3rd & 4th yrs.

ah. i stand corrected.

i also didn't know you were referring to uwo, but considering how well uwo meds worked out for me, that probably wouldn't have helped.

good luck!

edit: although i do believe in order to satisfy the honours degree requirements at uwo, you end up taking 3.0 4000-level courses anyway.
