- 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.”
