Get Gonis from Amazon. Get the big gait belt.

If you are lucky (!?) enough to attend a program that has gross anatomy, buy the appropriate set of anatomy flash cards for the atlas you will be using. Each person in my study group bought a set and everyone said it was very useful. Alternatively, you can buy an app such as Essential Anatomy if you have a tablet.

Also, find someone who has a membership at Costco or Sam's Club if you need to buy non-latex gloves - probably much cheaper than the campus bookstore.

If you're someone who likes to color-coordinate things and draw diagrams, I'd suggest getting a notebook-sized sketchbook and a set of fine, felt-tip markers. Drawing things (and even just tracing my laptop screen) has helped me a lot in anatomy!

Washable markers to draw on yourself.
