Professor’s Note: Bacha & Bacha and Dellman’s are veterinary specific; Gartner & Hiatt is human specific. Any single histology atlas or text is helpful for self-study. These sources are only recommended, not required. Atlases are a source of histological images whereas texts provide detailed subject descriptions and schematics.

  

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES:

• Lab Smock– your smock will be supplied by the Dean’s Office and coordinated by VetText. 
• Please look for an email about ordering during the summer. 

• Blue Embroidered Clinic Smock
• This smock will be required for activities during Foundations, and for any activities in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. These smocks may be purchased at VetText. 
• Please note that during the 2023-2024 school year we transitioned to a new smock style and discontinued the old style. We still have select sizes of the old smock style for sale at a discounted price. The new style options are: 
• Embroidered clinical jacket 
• Embroidered scrub top

• Examination Gloves 
• Gloves will be required during anatomy dissection lab. Gloves may be purchased at VetText or any medical supply store. 

• Dissection Kit
• Containing: blunt-sharp Mayo scissors (6”), tissue forceps (2-3), rat-toothed thumb forceps (2x3), scalpel handle (#3), scalpel blades (#10), blunt dissection probe, Iris scissors, Kelly hemostats (5”) 
• This kit may be purchased at VetText. 
• Do not purchase the dissection kit from the CSU bookstore, it does not have the correct supplies needed. 

• 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:
• Littman Master Cardiology
• Littman Cardiology IV 
• 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.”
