Dr. James Ross Human Anatomy and Physiology Course.

Anyone heard of this?

It looks like it might have some good info for me to brush up on my A&P before I get into medic school again, but then it seems like the website is kind of... gimmicky, like it's trying to push something worthless.

I read a couple favorable reviews, but it's difficult to believe everything you read on the intardwebz. Anyone used this?

I took an online A&P class through my school last year and failed the crap out of it. IMO for subjects like A&P the best thing to do is take/audit the class.

Yeah, I've already taken both classes, I just want something to study from/expand my knowledge in my downtime.

Unless you have a hell of a lot of A&P already under your belt, I'd stay away from this. I took A&P I-II over 2 college semesters, and I STILL don't have anywhere close to a mastery of the subject, and I'm pretty smart (if I do say so myself! :rofl. Anything that promises to deliver "15 years of medical knowledge in 3 days or less" is downright lying. Period.

There's a pretty good A&P series on YouTube. I'll try to track it down for you a bit later if I remember.

This looks way too commercial for me. When the claims sound too good to be true, they probably are. Take it through a reputable educational institution.

You tube or iTunes both have great pod casts

I would really appreciate that if you have the time, I've been doing a little digging on youtube, and I'm not sure where to start

Even though he isn't widely respected around here, medicRob posted a thread with the entire Youtube anatomy series on here, let me see if I can find it.

Not a problem. Glad to hear your headed to medic school!

www.khanacademy.com has a good bio section too.

Where you going Adam? SWC, EMSTA, Palomar? I personally like Southwestern college. Their Fire academy was pretty good.

You're the best, man, I appreciate it.

NCTI, long story.

I was planning on going to Palomar, but since I graduated high school early I hadn't done any math in a while, and totally messed up my placement exam, so I'd have to take a bunch of math classes before I could take the A&P and bio classes I needed, I didn't really want to deal with that headache. Then I was planning on going to EMSTA as I took my EMT there and I have a buddy going through their medic program now, but if I went there I wouldn't be able to start until next July, so NCTI ends up being the best option for me, works with my schedule and is a bit cheaper than EMSTA.

I know it's kind of branded as a medic mill, but I see it as you get out of it what you put into it, that's a large part of why I want to get a good leg up before class even starts, so I can get into the habit of pushing myself now instead of panicking when class starts

Don't try shortcuts

It takes about 2 full years to completely understand and learn anatomy and physiology. If someone says that he would teach you all that stuff in a week, he is obviously lying.
I have never used the product and I don't know what is inside it. Maybe the content is good, but the problem is that I am not going to try and learn two years course in a week. That is just a waste.

Looks like someone beat me to it!

The cool part about NCTI is they guarantee a job at AMR upon graduation, and you and I both know, landing a medic job in San Diego is tough.

Professor Marian Diamond's Integrative Biology 131 online lectures are amazing.

Yeah, former co-worker of mine went there and he's working for them now, got the job pretty much right away
Only bad thing I've heard is that they're having a hard time holding on to preceptors. The aforementioned co-worker had to change preceptors twice before he finished.
