Book question for medical graduates

[deleted463521]

I'm wondering if it's useful to keep any basic science medical books for my years on rotation and during my residency years for consult. I ask this because I study abroad and moving my books back to my country would be a pain.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

What specialty are you doing? For example, if you're doing path, then it might be useful to have big Robbins.

Download the PDFs and make a searchable index for all of them.

I'm an MS II so the idea of residency I want (peds surgery) might change when I go to my clinical years.

I thought of that but I'm pretty anal of having physical copies of my textbooks. But I'll consider what you said of searchable indexes.

Yeah I'm sure when you're a surgeon you're gonna wanna look up G-proteins every now and then
