But I bought it from a student in the class above me who was graduating so I paid significantly less than Amazon is selling it for.
For gen surg id say: New shoes you only wear to work, iPad mini, reference material (like a Tarascan Pharmacopoeia maybe?), embroidered lab coat with your name on it, lots of clean and new underwear and socks, small clipboard for loose papers (http://www.amazon.com/WhiteCoat-Clipboard-Black-Medical-Edition/dp/B00C2EG826/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1461811707&sr=8-1&keywords=medical+clip+board), and an amazon card for whatever comes up. You don't need much really.

This is something several students got for clinical rotations!
