He has multiple honorary professorships/faculty positions both in the US and abroad. Dr. Tubbs is President-elect of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists (AACA) and serves as its Journal’s (Clinical Anatomy) Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Tubbs’ research interests are centered around what has been termed “reverse translational anatomy research” where clinical/surgical problems are identified and solved/explained with anatomical studies. This investigative paradigm in anatomy has resulted in over 1,800 peer reviewed publications from his laboratory. Dr. Tubbs’ laboratory has made novel discoveries in human anatomy and in 2018, he was listed as a “hyperprolific author” in the journal Nature. Dr. Tubbs sits on the editorial board of over 10 anatomical journals and over 30 clinical journals and has reviewed for over 150 various scientific journals. He has authored/edited over 50 books and over 80 book chapters primarily in anatomical and neurosurgical textbooks.

The only anatomy Q&A book you need

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Brian R. MacPherson, PhD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine)
Description: This is a textbook with 482+ pages of questions based on the LCME formulaic format covering all regions of the human body. Many of these questions are distilled from other Elsevier anatomy textbooks for their importance in clinical anatomical relationships. The website contains the value of this publication with an interactive assessment format of the questions. This is the third edition.
Purpose: The purpose is to assist students in sorting the clinically important anatomy from the tomes of notes they took in medical school. This is done not by outlining these gems of knowledge but through incorporation into LCME-formatted questions. The book meets this objective, though if you accessed any of the three other commonly used Elsevier textbooks listed in the preface or referenced in the questions, you would have seen these questions before. This book has them all in one place. The interactive assessment formatted version of these questions online is the best source for student learning.
Audience: The book is primarily for students preparing for the LCME exam or any other exam that includes clinically related anatomy in health-related fields. The interactive assessment version of the questions in the online portion is the best source of student learning. All the authors are high-profile clinical anatomists with numerous publications in the field.
Features: The title alone of this textbook does not clearly outline what is contained within. One might expect a point-form coverage of each anatomical region outlining clinically relevant anatomy. What you get is a voluminous set of questions which cover the clinically important facts of each body region. Many students learn by taking and retaking quizzes, so this book is the perfect format for them.
Assessment: The online, downloadable, interactive assessment portion of this book is hugely beneficial to learners. As such, the book definitely does fulfill its objective(s) of helping sort out the clinically relevant anatomy of each body region. The preface and back cover outline the overall features succinctly and also indicate the addition of a new neuroanatomy chapter and enhanced ebook version in this third edition.
