    Just map the body over a city you know well and develop pictures at each location. I use this method for everything, but mapping it to a city is especially helpful for anatomy.

      So this is one of those advanced memory techniques that most people don't ever end up using because it takes so much time investment on the front-end that they give up. However, it's an investment. It's a trainable skill, and if you get good at it, you'll be able to quickly memorize information through a first pass, and remember it for a very long time. I hate anki just on principle for what it does to the creativity and brainwashing of physicians into mindless factual memory banks, but I also hate it because it's just inefficient. Encoding your memories in deeply-rooted folders is such a powerful technique, but it just takes a lot of practice. I was fortunate enough to practice this in undergrad, so I got very good at it. This is also the technique memory-athletes use.
      As for anatomy...You can even print an aerial map out from google, of a particular area you know very well in a city. You can then outline different structures/shapes/buildings that form something like a human body in anatomical position. You can then actually drive around this route in person if you want to really help yourself internalize the route, and I conveniently chose a route I drive part of every day, so I was able to picture my stories and memory anchors at each location on a daily basis.
      For instance: Imagine you're looking at the city from an aerial overhead view...find an area that you know well, and that you can draw some reasonable shape of the human body over, ensuring there are enough landmarks onto which you can make memory folders.
      I mean literally place memories on each location such that the buildings/locations you use form the shape of the human body from a particular view (anterior/posterior).
      So for instance...the head might be a series of 5-10 buildings that are clustered together somewhere, then move south in the city and find some buildings southeast and southwest of your 'head' building cluster that are either directly contiguous (like a strip mall)...or they can be separate but close and reasonably linear...these can represent the limbs. Find a good location that can form the shape of the entire human body. They also don't always have to be buildings, they can be any landmark or field, highway, or anything onto which you can place a memory folder. If you can't find an area that you can map to the shape of a human body...that's okay too, it just might be a little less intuitive, but still works beautifully. It's more about the relative locations of the memory folders to one another, so at the end of it, the city locations I mapped to ended up looking more like an alien, but hey....it works. It doesn't matter if you're picturing a mafia capo breakdancing on a dolphin with a mullet on a side street, or at some perfectly mapped out building that's exactly concordant with anatomical relations...you're going to remember where everything is relative to one another by how ridiculous the story and images become.
      I know this is incredibly vague, but it's very hard to describe the full technique and how you can morph and change it to your particular needs and preferences because the possibilities are endless. It just takes practice on the front end. I think everyone's version of the technique is a little different, especially the people who are professionals and highly skilled at it. Once you get good at it, you'll be able to kind of freestyle and work with locations that aren't nearly as strong of anchors because you'll get a lot better at actually being able to mentally visualize your story. So instead of needing actual structures...you'll be able to use simple loci like say.....one field...and you'll be able to use each corner of the field as a distinct loci for memory, even though they're not that strongly different locations from one another. This really opens up a lot of possibilities because you can make complex memories out of simple locations. If you are one of the few people that can draw from memory, or just see an iguana in your head, and draw it from a mental picture......these people have such a strong innate ability to use this technique, but most of them don't know about it. I however, am terrible at drawing from memory and I became very proficient with the method of Loci technique in about 6 months to a year by practicing about 1-2 hours a day.

      Taking Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) lecture & its corresponding lab is required. Some programs require that students take both lecture & lab in a traditional, face-to-face setting & NOT online. Granted other programs might accept A&P lecture & lab online. It is important to know this prior to applying to your desired school or program. Be sure that you take the correct A&P lecture & lab sequence for healthcare majors or professional programs. If you have a choice, always pick the cadaver labs.
