client, which can also be downloaded only within the university network ...

None of the items listed below is an obligatory basic equipment of a new student. Some things will only grow over time, but there are a few things that may make learning easier for one or the other.
While learning how to use index cards
has an initial amount of work, it does prove to be a very sustainable way of learning for those who work with it.
Padlock

Pulse Oximeter: Measure pulse and oxygen saturation with a device that fits comfortably in your pocket.
Diagnostic light

Solid stethoscope
made by Littmann:
High acoustic sensitivity in general auscultation.
Dual Frequency membrane on both sides of the chestpiece for adults and children.
The one-piece membrane is easy to install and easy to clean thanks to the smooth surface.
The new durable material keeps the hose longer and more resistant to staining and discoloration.
Versatile through the open funnel. The pediatric side transforms into a traditional open funnel by replacing the membrane with a cold protection ring.
Especially when you are still learning, it is important to hear well. Unfortunately not cheap but because of the incredible depth of detail a recommendation for those who do not just want to make auscultation pro forma. For the Physikum, there is also a stethoscope from the university as a gift, but I could never do much with it. Contrary to the intuition, a high quality stethoscope
is recommended especially for the learner.
Blood pressure cuff.
Pressure gauge scale = Ø 60 mmDouble hose system
Plug connection for cuff
with rotary valve for pressure release

Book recommendations "preclinical"
Anatomy: The paperback anatomy summarizes the two big blocks Benninghoff anatomy very well. The texts are very easy to understand, the structure is clear, the drawings are colorful and good. It also highlights clinical content and summaries, making learning and repeating much easier.
Anatomical structures in images: More than 200 bones, about 650 muscles - but do not panic before Präpkurs and certificates. Over 5000 lifelike, sculptural anatomical drawings in about 780 study units show you the anatomy in outstanding quality and detail. So you can easily visualize the 3D structures and understand and memorize the material more quickly. With the two life-sized posters on your wall you have bones and muscles every day and can memorize the names and structures permanently.
Physiology: A detailed textbook for in-depth learning and an integrated short textbook. Because the margin column with the summaries is ideal for quick repetition and targeted exam preparation. The complete GK is covered. Numerous clinical references and above all the graphic clinical pictures build a bridge to your subsequent medical activity.
Biochemistry: Complete and up to date. All test-relevant and clinically important biochemical contents are covered and up-to-date.
The texts are formulated in clear, memorable language. All connections necessary for the understanding are explained. The excellent book and chapter structure allows you an effective and fast information access. Many interesting clinical references, concrete case studies and numerous clinical pictures.
