Medical Equipment Requirements for Medical School
Medical students are expected to have certain equipment on day one of medical school, including a stethoscope, diagnostic set, reflex hammer, and tuning fork.
Recommended Equipment
The Littmann Cardiology IV stethoscope and Welch Allyn 3.5V Diagnostic Set are recommended for their high quality and durability.
The diagnostic set should include an ophthalmoscope and otoscope, and the reflex hammer and tuning fork are also essential tools.
Optional but recommended equipment includes a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff).
Key Features to Consider
When choosing a stethoscope, look for a single tube with two lumens, “tunable” technology, short tubing, and comfortable earpieces.
Diagnostic kits should include a high-quality ophthalmoscope and otoscope, and a rechargeable power handle is recommended.
Reflex hammers and tuning forks are also important tools, with the Babinski telescoping reflex hammer being a recommended option.
