SDN is looking at starting a new medical equipment rental service for students: SDN Non-profit Rentals.
I'd like to know if you have an interest in it. Please let me know by voting in the poll.
What will we offer?
Full size and pocket Ophthalmoscope / Otoscope sets
How does it work?
You give us a deposit, pay a low yearly fee, then return the equipment in 1-4 years for a full refund of your original deposit (if the unit was returned in good working order). Plus, you get interest on your deposit!
What's the deposit
It is a $300 deposit for the equipment.
What's the yearly fee?
Just $50 per year. Payment is due on the first day of the cycle. Because the fee is so low, there is no prorated fee and no rebates on this fee.
How long will it take to get it?
We will ship the equipment to you overnight upon receipt of the deposit and first year's rental fee (via check or credit card).
You will then be charged $50 per year for the unit. You may keep the unit as many years as desired, depending on your need.
What do I do when I'm done renting it?
When you no longer need the unit, ship it back to us.
The unit will be inspected. If it is returned in proper working condition with minimal wear and tear, your deposit will be returned to you with interest. Any broken or missing equipment will be deducted from your deposit, with the remainder returned to you with interest.
Why would SDN offer this service?
The Student Doctor Network is a nonprofit organization dedicated to medical student education. Most students only need equipment for 1-2 years, making purchase of the equipment an inappropriate investment for students.
