As a medical apparel store, we support all healthcare professionals, and we want to provide you with reliable information and comfort at the start of your academic career by sharing our experience and what is our forte – extraordinary medical apparel designs.
Many of us recall the first year of college as an extremely stressful and absorbing time. Everyone was accompanied by anxiety before the start of the first lectures, the fear of getting lost in the university walls, there were many questions, doubts ”are you sure this is the right way?”, to this lack of knowledge of how to prepare for the first year of study, what equipment will be useful for classes … Sound familiar?
More often than not, we hear from medical students in their senior years that almost everyone has purchased far too many materials for their studies and have not used many things. With these aspects in mind, we have compiled a download with a list of must-have articles for young medical students before starting their medical studies. We invite you to read it and share your insights.
Medical clothing and surgical instruments for classes in anatomy, histology, biophysics
We will start with the most famous subject, shrouded in mystery – ANATOMY. You are probably looking forward to the first practical classes, where you will experience a substitute for medicine and feel like you are in a medical series.
It is mandatory for you to equip yourself with neat medical clothing for your dissecting classes. In this case, it should be a white long-sleeved apron, which will also appear in the near future and will probably fill your closet. For the preparation of a corpse you will need a scalpel and holder for it, as well as two tweezers. You will use standard tweezers to grasp soft tissue, and surgical tweezers to catch skin and other hard shells. In addition, you should invest in an anatomical atlas and a textbook required by the anatomy department at your university.
HISTOLOGY
This is where crayons will come in handy – yes, they are a working tool for imaging the slides you are looking at. No matter what colors are your favorites, purple, red and blue crayons will come in handy for histology.
A subject that inspires fear among students… BIOPHYSICS
Here all you need to do is buy a good compound calculator and voilá!
Fashionable medical clothing – scrubs for men and women
We already have the necessary information on what to equip yourself with when going into your first year of medicine. It is already worth betting on functional, comfortable and fashionable medical clothing that will make you stand out in the ward. Good quality scrubs are an investment for years to come, as they are meant to serve the medic in all circumstances and for a long time. Once you start practicing in various wards, classes in hospitals you will see how important it is to choose the right model of blouse and pants. Especially small patients like to pay attention to details and the clothing of medical personnel.
Color matters! Saturated, vibrant and cheerful colors can energize and bring a smile to your face even after a busy duty or a sleepless night. But, it doesn’t stop there! To fully equip your medical closet you still need footwear, the choice of which is up to you. You can bet on crocs, or you can choose sneakers. Plus a stethoscope, a notepad and on your way.
