As my son is graduating college and going to med school next year, many family members and friends are asking about graduation gifts. Any suggestions for what to get incoming med students other than a computer or the obvious money?

Give him time with you, time with family, and time with friends. Make sure he can enjoy his summer before school and has the opportunity to spend time doing the other things in his life that he's passionate about. Not sure if you can order any of that off Amazon, but its worth a shot.
An espresso machine and a good grinder. It's like going from a Ford Fiesta (drip coffee) to a Ford GT.

how much $ are you working with? 😛
A crockpot. Dump a bunch or ingredients in and several hours later you have your meals for the week. He may think its weird but will thank you later on.
Survivor DO
These are great suggestions- he will be in DC and I will make a point to spend some quality time with him. As his grandparents, aunts and uncles etc are asking about gifts I was curious about items medical students might need and that are practical in the 100-500 range. The stethoscope and iPad mini are great ideas as are the coffee grinder/maker/appliances.

What exactly can you do with an ipad? I see it everywhere, but I don't really understand its utility. Also, why would you want to walk around with an ipad mini in your white jacket.
I suggest the iPad mini vs the regular sized version because it can easily fit in a white coat pocket.

Two other things:
- Costco membership
- Ikea gift cards
Never give a gift card; It's the same as money but less valuable.
Personally, I kinda like gift cards. They make me go spend money on something I may not otherwise buy, but would still greatly enjoy. Because otherwise it's most likely going towards tuition or rent 🙁
An example is a bookcase. I never would have bought it had I not gotten an Ikea gift card, but I could never live without it now that I have it.
So this could depend on the who is receiving the gift.
