- *This kit may be purchased at VetText.
-
Stethoscope
- A stethoscope will be needed for activities during Foundations as well as any activities in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. However, we understand that this is a large purchase and we would like you to research your options before purchasing by asking faculty and other students in the DVM program. Stethoscopes are available online and at VetText
-
*Tips for choosing a stethoscope:
- Any good quality (cardiology) Littman or Tycos stethoscope, two examples below:
-
Regardless of manufacturer:
- Tubing length 22” (longer tubing attenuates the sounds)
- Must have both diaphragm and bell (or tunable chest piece to provide equivalent)
- Dual tubing contained within a single tube
-
Avoid:
- Triple headed chest piece
-
Electronic enhancement
- Professor’s Note: “We need students to bring a stethoscope for the PE skills labs in Foundations, but it is ok to borrow one for those sessions.”
