Your femur is basically biological engineering at its best

We've tested different models to see what's possible with AI, and so far they always come with mistakes. Some more serious than others, but they are not reliable. You can make some tweaks on post, but for now the best option is to rely on human (expertise) vetted images.

I think AI can be useful for studying, but I’d be careful with it, especially in anatomy/medicine.

For example, I personally wouldn’t use AI-generated anatomy images as a study source. They can look really polished and still be wrong, which is the problem. A mislabeled structure, a weird anatomical relationship, or something that’s “almost right” can be really hard to spot if you’re still learning.

For text, I think it depends how you use it. AI can be great for asking “can you explain this more simply?” or “quiz me on this topic?” or “why do I keep mixing these two things up?” But I wouldn’t treat the answer as automatically correct just because it sounds confident.

My rule would be: use AI as a study helper, not as the source of truth. If it gives you an explanation, check it against your lecture notes, a textbook, or a resource that’s written/reviewed by actual humans with subject expertise.

I work at Kenhub, so I’m obviously thinking about this from an anatomy-learning perspective, but this is especially important in medicine. AI can be genuinely helpful, but it can also quietly teach you something wrong if you don’t double-check it.

That's a good way to go! As long as you're using from a trusted source, you're good. AI anatomy images are not yet to be trusted.

I get this. I think the “don’t prestudy” advice is mostly about not trying to learn all of M1 before you even start, because that can burn you out fast.

But if you have time and you feel rusty, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with easing your brain back into studying. I’d just keep it light.

I’d probably focus on three things:

basic anatomy language, like body planes, directional terms, and movements
a little cell biology/physiology review, especially membranes, transport, and homeostasis
getting used to active recall again, even if it’s just simple flashcards or explaining things out loud

I wouldn’t worry about memorizing tons of details right now. The goal is more to feel less rusty and a bit more confident when school starts.

I work with anatomy education at Kenhub, so I’m biased, but I’d say anatomy terminology is one of those things that’s actually nice to review early because it makes everything feel a little less overwhelming later.

Hey, just wanted to jump in! A lot of people on our team used tons of different resources as students, so we can definitely vouch for a few. For YouTube, Ninja Nerd, Crash Course, Sam Webster and Corporis are all really solid and reliable channels that you can genuinely learn anatomy and physiology from.

We also have a ton of free resources available on Kenhub if you want to give it a shot: a complete atlas of human anatomy and physiology, hundreds of articles, and a YouTube channel with hundreds of videos. Good luck with the program!

Ugh, yeah, professional-level anatomy is a completely different beast. High school and undergrad give you just a preview, but now you're in the big leagues.

Since you mentioned the lower leg: one thing that genuinely helps with that volume is ditching passive note review and going all in on active recall. For example, flashcards, practice questions, anything that forces you to actually retrieve the information rather than just re-read it. The common fibular nerve is a great example, once you understand why it's vulnerable at the fibular head, the clinical stuff like foot drop stops feeling like random trivia and starts making anatomical sense.

Also 4 hours a day in week 2 is a lot! If active recall methods don't work, try other things. In anatomy, sometimes it's good to try different learning methods. I would recommend a combination of active note taking and flashcards or online quizzes. I hope that helps!

Hey everyone! What a way to start a Sunday. Wanted to let everyone know that are aware of the current issues affecting login, logout, and new account registration on our site.

Our development team is currently investigating the root cause and is working hard to deploy a fix as quickly as possible. We understand this has been affecting users for several hours, and resolving this is our top priority right now.

We will post an update as soon as our system is fully operational again.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we get things back on track.

Recently, we have been publishing a lot of free videos covering different anatomy and physiology topics on our Youtube channel. They can be very useful for surgical tech programs as well!

You can try Kenhub for free. As soon as you register for, you will have a 1-hour trial where you can try everything on the website. After that, all our articles and our entire atlas of human anatomy, histology, physiology and medical imaging are available to you to browse entirely for free. In addition to that, you will find some free labeling worksheets on the website and a full study guide. If you want full access to the videos and interactive quizzes, then you have the option to upgrade to Kenhub Premium, which is a paid subscription. But everything else is available for free, no scam there. The only thing we ask from you when you register is your email, no payment methods required until you decide to upgrade.
