What are you supposed to do about forwarding your email address? They say you can't forward it to an outside email, but there doesn't seem to be any way to access it without forwarding it. I'm confused.
Any idea on when we get our class schedules for the fall?
For the medical equipment we need, any thoughts or preferences on where/which to buy? There are so many choices on Amazon. Has anyone taken a look at what's available at the bookstore?
Thanks @BABSstudent, how did your class go about the group purchase? Was it before school started or during, and which supplies? We'll be needing some of our equipment (tuning forks, BP cuff, penlight, reflex hammer) before the start of Immersion and Orientation so I'm not sure if my class will do any sort of group order since we need it all pretty soon.Our class did a group purchase order so everything was cheaper.

We did it during first semester, and since you'll need it before then maybe it's not possible to do. I'll scout Amazon for you for the equipment we ordered.

This scope is what I have. Some people got cheaper ones but regretted the small viewing section. Others only used it during the physical exam teaching sections but then sold it ASAP because almost all hospitals carry them. It's up to you for how much you want to spend. I like the built in battery in this one.

You can purchase a nicer reflex hammer, but this one does exactly what you need it to do. I don't regret getting it. Don't need a pen light since you can find an actual pen with a light built in, or use the oto-opthalmoscope for this.

Thanks so much, that is so helpful @BABSstudent. I was looking into these and I wasn't sure. Glad to know these supplies have been successful for you and your class. Any insights on the BP cuff? That's the one I'm most curious about since it could be the slightly more expensive tool we have to buy right away. They're not having us buy the scopes until finaid has been disbursed so we have a little time for that.
