Med Student Gifts

Medical Books

Med students spend a vast amount of time studying for examinations and rely on academic reference books to broaden their knowledge. Med school is an expensive time, both in terms of college fees and living costs. Purchase a book from the student's semester reading list that will help her work towards her exams. Alternatively, a gift certificate for a large book store will allow her to select relevant books for when she needs them during the semester.

If you feel the recipient needs time away from the stresses of study, purchase a gift certificate that will give him the opportunity to kick back and enjoy some relaxation time. A member's pass to a local movie theater or a gift certificate for a nearby restaurant will allow him to take a well-earned night off from the books. Alternatively, a pass for health spa for a back massage is a relaxing treat after months of exams.

If she is not sitting in a lecture hall, she is likely to be sat at her desk. Purchase some accessories to give her desk or dorm room a new lease of life. Framed photographs, a stress reliever ball or a photographic mouse-mat will remind her of home when she sits down to work. Look for items that include a medical symbol such as a med-themed notebook, or create a personal poem for the recipient and add medical themed clip-cart, such as a stethoscope, using your word processor.

There are a whole host of gadgets available to help busy students save time. An e-book device will allow a med student to download books related to his course of study and read them on the bus or train, without carrying lots of heavy books around. Alternatively, a notebook laptop is small and portable so that work can be done while waiting for lectures to begin, or can be hooked up to Wi-Fi available in cafes or coffee houses to catch up on emails.
