I’m so super happy with my Apple Macbook Air Laptop! Before I settled on Apple, I used to love the HP Spectre laptops … until I had two in a ROW die on me, one in the middle of undergrad and the second in grad school. So far, this laptop has lasted since my first year of medical school (3 years already) and is still working just as well as the day I got it. I personally prefer the 13″ over a 15″ screen. Also, navy is such a sleek color! I recommend getting the 1 TB storage option since you have a lot of PowerPoints to download in medical school!

For a little more affordable option that’s very aesthetic, go with the Bose QuietComfort Over Ear Headphones, especially if the medical student you’re buying isn’t a fan of wearing earbuds (not everyone finds them comfortable or practical to wear). These headphones offer superior sound quality for hours of uninterrupted listening.

With all those late-night study sessions and endless screentime, these blue light glasses help cut down on eye strain and promote better sleep by blocking 90% of that pesky blue light. Plus, they’re stylish and super comfy, so they can rock them while feeling great.

These awesome Multi-Colored Pens are super handy for taking notes during rounds on internal medicine rotations. Each pen offers four color options. They write like a dream, are very durable, and also pair well with one of the journals on this gift list.
