Review
“The newest (2015) and the 41st edition of Gray’s Anatomy is a mirror on the explosion of medical knowledge that has occurred over the past 8 years since the 40th edition was published… the 41st edition of Gray’s Anatomy is the single most important text a radiologist should own. Buy it not only for its practical and intellectual/educational value but to have in your possession-a slice of medical history.”

2015 BMA Medical Book Awards: Highly Commended in Basic and Clinical Sciences
"I particularly like the diagrams, which are clearly labelled, not cluttered, and helpfully coloured...this textbook is great. It is well-tailored to students, providing the anatomy information that we need to know. It gets a big ‘thumbs up’" - Medical Student, University of Oxford (review of previous edition)
"...explains anatomy in a way that is easy to understand, but also puts the text in a clinical context along the way.The Interactive Surface Anatomy is very useful and well made ― a great example of how Student Consult can provide teaching tools that simplifies complex subjects in a way no book can." - Medical Student, University of Copenhagen(review of previous edition)

The student consult is helpful and the book contains a lot of useful information, but is poorly organized. Made reading and studying much more difficult than necessary.
The student consult is probably the best part about this book by far. It provides study questions, an electronic copy of the book, and more. I used the student consult many times to assist my learning and think I would have been lost without it. One of my favorite things to do with the electronic book was screenshot the pictures and put them into a review guide document so that I wouldn't have to have the book out to study.
The book has the weirdest organization I've seen for a book. It jumped around a lot within chapters and made things harder to understand. It often took a good bit of searching for me to find the information I was looking for despite it being mentioned briefly pages before. As a student, I was taking more than just an anatomy course, and it was very frustrating to have to spend excess time and energy than should have been required on trying to find the information I needed.

I believe this is the best pictorial explanation of anatomy I have ever come across
I believe this is the best pictorial explanation of anatomy I have ever come across. I never compared the text of Gray's Anatomy to Clinically Oriented Anatomy but pictures are bigger and much much clearer in this book compared to COA. I believe to use as a reference book for the practice of medicine, as a physician, this is a great book. I apologize that i am not able to evaluate this book from view point of preparation of exams.
Still the best professional textbook of Anatomy.
I am a retired plastic surgeon that always had a special interest in Anatomy and over the years collected all good Atlas but always kept my 1962 Gray's anatomy. After getting the new Gray's anatomy forty-first edition 2016 I finally got rid of my old Gray's of 1962 ( not easily ) .The new one is a master piece, to be used as reference , but I wouldn't recommend it for medical students. I would rather recommend to them " Human Anatomy " 9th edition by Martini, Tallitschand Nath, that is to me the best textbook of anatomy for medical student or any student of anatomy. It is a wonderful book and it makes anatomy simple and fun. I also have Gray's anatomy for students 3rd edition that is also an excellent textbook for students of anatomy.Those 2 textbooks should be used with an atlas and my favorite is "Thieme atlas of anatomy, by Gilroy and Macpherson ", followed by Grant's Atlas of anatomy 13th edition and NETTER.
