I received a request from a parent whose son got accepted into our USM Medical School. The request is for a list of textbooks for Year 1 Medicine.
My comment for parents who are planning on buying medical textbooks for their children is, most textbooks are available in the medical library on campus. However, the medical library stocks only a few copies of most textbooks and reference books, and students often have to rush for such books. As such, some students will have problems getting hold of a copy to read before class or immediately after class.
For parents who can afford to buy textbooks for their children, please go ahead and buy them. Please purchase the most recent textbooks, or any book for that matter. There is Kamal Bookstore in KL which sells medical textbooks.
Here on campus, we organise book fairs or book sales and book vendors come to the campus to sell medical textbooks, often at cheaper price. Sometimes students can get good bargains and good copies of books, especially for missing pages (1-2 pages missing). Students can also make arrangement and place orders with the book vendors who will then post the books to the students.
New students can also purchase books from the 2nd-year students (students who passed Year 1 and are continuing Year 2). This can be done once students are on campus.
Otherwise, new students can join my Facebook (Faridah Abdul Rashid) and join the Phase 1 Group which is for Year 1 medical & dental students. New students can voice their concerns/queries/comments in my Facebook. I can pick up problems/concerns/queries/comments from my Facebook (if any) and try to help out new students.
Parents can also join my Facebook and I will try to help out in any way I can. Hopefully I can also help refer parents/students/queries to the right person(s), insyaAllah. Let's try make learning less of a hassle and more of fun and joy for all our children, insyaAllah.
