I would prolly not buy her a stethscope, she will decide if she needs one. you can save the g and give it to her for a downpayment on apt for residency, or give her the money so she can apply for residency.

Congratulations! Gift her one of these Littmann Cardiology stethoscopes, tier 1. Definitely personalize it with engraving. This will be her most used tool that she will need everyday. Buy a spare parts kit also.

Stethoscope are like cats, no one really owns them. They go through life looking for a new owner that will treat them better.
What is her residency in? That would be helpful to know. |

Shoes? Medics, nurses, docs, etc. spend MANY MANY hours on their feet; good shoes are a necessity. Perhaps some support stockings, too.

My brother graduated two years ago and is now starting his 3rd year of pathology. He didn't need a stethoscope. He'll never use one again. Also, bear in mind that residents usually have to move, perhaps again for fellowship and then their first job. Don't load them up with big things that are hard to move.
My brother is a huge fan of Christopher Nolan, particularly Inception. I bought him one of these. It's Dom's token. Yeah, it has nothing to do with medicine. But it's small, fun to play with and pretty unique.  drsalee's idea of a nameplate/badge of some kind is a good idea. And a copy of The House of God. Dated, but still spot on, especially Internal Medicine rounds, and she'll do a lot of those in neurology. Also, if she doesn't have it already, this is the preferred reflex hammer in neurology. Don't get one of those cheap, crappy tomahawk style.  Finally, ask @C-4, who is a neurologist. |

Another favorite small.
In medical school, the kids wear short lab coats. When they get their MD, they also graduate to long lab coats. You can be the first to give your daughter a long lab coat. Extra bonus points if you get it monogrammed. |

Quoted: My youngest daughter is starting her 4th year of medical school. I want to get her something meaningful to commemorate graduation next year but haven't the foggiest idea what that might be. And no, paying off her student loans is not an option. Budget would be up to $1,000. Any insight would be appreciated. I got a beautiful classic Mont Blanc pen from a rich family friend. My parents took me out to eat for graduation. My Grandfather, who was extremely proud of me, got me a Rolex GMT Pepsi, one of my most cherished possessions. |

You can be the first to give your daughter a long lab coat. Extra bonus points if you get it monogrammed. Mont Blanc pens are very nice. But hold on to it and never set it down. I always thought the white coat length was the most ridiculous form of preening and status. Some of those attendings, with the very nice, heavy cloth coats, with cloth-covered buttons and extensive monogramming looked like a bunch of peacocks. Imagine all of these flamingos wearing different length white coats according to status. Now you have the picture of the internal medicine team rounding every morning in an academic hospital.  19 years later after residency, I haven't once worn a white coat. Not once.

My parents gave me a car with automatic transmission. I wanted another machinegun but it was nice to not have to manually shift in stop and go traffic for once.
Oh and I haven't been outside the country since the end of my 4th year, so maybe a vacation before the indentured servitude starts. At least neurology is only 4 years total instead of the 6 I needed. |

If you get her a watch get one with the solar charging so she doesn't just toss it in a drawer a year later when the battery dies. Citizen Ecodrive watches are pretty solid and they have some pretty nice looking models in your price range for women.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I still use the one given to me from nursing school graduation. It's a nicer one then I would have bought. I know a lot of folks that are now retiring from the medical professions and they all say to a person that the nice stethoscopes get stolen all the time in a hospital setting. These people are retiring in management position as Director of Nursing or Chief of Surgery and they say that they are constantly dealing with theft allegations from staff. It doesn’t mater if you have tape around it with your name on it. If you want to keep it, don’t set it down as they sprout legs and run like hell. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Neurology Neurologist or neurosurgeon? If she is going after a neurosurgeon, you might consider a surgeon’s headlamp; however these are expensive and kind of a personal choice option with HD video cameras. The residencies are generally 7 years long, and are intense. A vacation would be good; but she will need to get an apartment and settle in to her new location. As you know, this is expensive, and time consuming. |

As you know, this is expensive, and time consuming. When we all had residency match day, one of our classmates did neurosurgery. Even the other people who matched in other surgical specialties were talking to him and saying, "Whoa. Pete. Man. What are you doing?" Neurology is much more compatible with enjoyment in life. Residency is busy, but you learn a ton and it can be enjoyable. |
