I checked Amazon and this is what i came up with. They should be correct.

Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy - Kenneth Moses, Pedro Nava, John Banks, and Darrell Petersen

Gross Anatomy Dissector: A Companion for Atlas of Clinical Anatomy - Richard S. Snell

Basic Histology: Text & Atlas (Basic Histology) - Luiz Carlos Junqueira and Jose Carneiro

Human Embryology & Developmental Biology - Bruce M. Carlson

Textbook of Biochemistry With Clinical Correlations - Thomas M. Devlin

As for the Gray's Anatomy/Case-directed anatomy package, the author is Richard Drake. This is a direct quote from Amazon:

Case-Directed Anatomy Online is a complete, web-based self-study course in Gross Anatomy and Embryology that can be used on its own or in conjunction with its parent textbook: Gray's Anatomy for Students. It combines interactive content and assessment into one resource that can be used in the classroom, at home, or anywhere you can access the Internet. The structure of Case-Directed Anatomy Online parallels the organization of Gray's Anatomy for Students, with regionally oriented "chapters" divided into 52 short modules on individual topics. Each module begins with a clinical case and questions to guide your study. Brief text in outline format is linked to a high-quality art program illustrating the relevant anatomical structures. Interactive exercises and self-assessment quizzes periodically test your understanding of the material. Videos demonstrate actual prosections performed on fresh cadavers.

i am looking at joining in september, would it be beneficial to buy books over the summer and browse through them to be better prepared? Or maybe I should ask this questions once classes start in May.

[cvannilam]

With the Gross Anatomy Dissector: A Companion for Atlas of Clinical Anatomy - Richard S. Snell I couldnt find it. With the author Snell, I only found Clinical Anatomy by Regions. I found other dissectors, grants dissector by patrick tank

I had emailed the lady on the form, but she hasnt gotten back to e yet. The only thing she confirmed was Constanzo for Physiology. I just hope i have enough time to get everything in order.

and with respects to your question, iuapremed, I think you should wait till we start classes and we can tell you what you will need indefinitely!

[Dr. Prince]

I am not sure about those textbooks so I am gonna call tomorrow to make sure.

[cvannilam]

Can someone please help with the books, because When I call the lady, I get no response. She says she doesnt know anything and to email her and she will get back to me. Then after I emailed her, there is still no response!.. and the deadline is getting close. So can anyone help with the books?

Grays Anatomy/ Case-directed Anatomy – 04433068208

Hey guys..so those are the ISBN numbers

Although Im pretty sure we dont need the Embryo book till our second semester. Accordin to the schedule mailed to us in our welcome packet, we take embryology second semester!

[cvannilam]

How important is it for us to order the stethoscope for first semester?

[UMHS]

There are a number of different exercises that require the use of a stethoscope in the first and second semester. While we have several tstethoscopes that can be used by nursing and medical students, most people prefer not to share. You will definetly need your own when get to 4th semester and go to clinical sites. I'd suggest that you buy your own now and get the best quality that you can afford.

[hanhnee]

Are those for CERTAIN the books that we need for class? Has anyone looked into how much it would cost to have them shipped to St.Kitts or would I just be better off buying them and bringing them in my suitcase. So much stuff...so little packing space...

[YBU]

Overall, I paid over 1K for most of the books on the list + scrubs.....

[YBU]

AND.....It is much better to have the books shipped. It will save you the space you need. By the way have asked what to bring and what not to bring? When I first came I brought things that can be found on the Island, but I did not know, so I came with heavy load of luggages......

Oh so you're already there. Well there are several things that come to mind, i can't decide if i should bother bringing my printer and extra ink cartridges. Also basics iiii can't live without include: cetaphil cleanser, crystal light, cream of wheat...just to name a few. Have you seen that kind of stuff on the island?

Should i also pack lots of school supply essentials: paper, pens, stapler, hole puncher, highlighters, etc...or are those easy to get on the island?

and one last essential, how's the milk there? Good quality? same as north america? Do they have 1%

[cvannilam]

Hey

well i have been on the island, nevis, more so..than kitts.but they have the same things

We def have cetaphil cleanser.....we have oatmeal..more so than cream of wheat..im not t oo sure though, cuz i eat oatmeal than cream of wheat, so i wouldnt be able to tell u..pretty much u can get a lot of the same things u can from the states..jus more expensive..for example..like a box of cereal (special K to be exact) is about $19 EC where as in the states its like *i think* 4 or 5 US...so things like that...

PPl hve usually brought books and pens here..and then if u need more u can get them here..and the campus has a bookstore..

Milk..i personally get the boxed milk..but they do have regular milk as well..but i really like the boxed milk and my roommate likes the silk milk..so its been ok so far..and i have been ehre for about 4 months now...

with the BOOKS...well i only bought a couple of things..b/c i had most of it..but i think shipping it to the school directly is the best..but i dont think u need everything on the list ...

if u need to know anything else just ask :)

[cvannilam]

and those arent all the books u need, you will get everything in the welcome packet..or on the book order form..those were the essentials..well for me anyway

Bring as much crystal light with you ask you can!!
When you see how much it is here, it will make your eyes cross.
You can usually find fresh milk. I haven't seen 1% but i know they have whole, 2% and skim. Cream of wheat definitely isn't a problem.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any fruit2o here. :mad: But i'll keep looking

[hanhnee]

aww, thanks guys! I was beginning to worry that i'd be eating rice and beans for 16months and washing my face with lye soap ;)
Good to know there's home comforts there! thanks for the help, and i will definitely stock up on the Crystal light

[YBU]

There is a store in town called "Office Depot", wonder how they came up with the name:), and they have all the school supplies that you will need....I actually thought about bringing my own printer from the US, but I had limited space. I found the same exact printer here for double the price......I know it cost me more, but I found what I needed......
Pens, notebooks and mostly everything else is about the same cost as in US, and I only noticed the major price differrence in printers, and inks.....

Overall, I paid over 1K for most of the books on the list + scrubs.....

You will later find out that you did not need most of these books. Trust me!

[UMHS]

:lolup:And if you reach the same conclusion that Skull has, most of the faculty will disagree with you! Trust me!

[YBU]

You are right, and I did not order all the books. The 10% island tax+Shipping added more than I was expecting......and I only got those that I did not have......:)Oh well.........
