PLEASE NOTE: These textbooks are no longer available.

Hey anumiqbal,

I think it moreso depends on your learning style. Some people like handwritten notes, others like textbooks. Some people like reviewing the slides, while others depend on other sources. 

In terms of what is really NEEDED to pass the classes, I would say that textbooks are not necessary. The professors will primarily test you on material from the slides. 

What would be critical for you to bring for lab would be a lab coat, scrubs, face masks, gloves, and shoe covers. The rest of the supplies are important to have if you plan on engaging in any other medical activities on the island (health fairs, volunteering, etc.)

Hope that helps!
