Books:
Physiology -
no need to buy bcoz handouts given by dept are sufficient.. but it wudnt hurt to buy one.. sumtyms the handouts are incomplete.. especially lectures by Dr. Cuison!! haha... the dept recomends Berne and Levy but its so incomplete!! so i suggest buy Guyton.. physio buks are gud investments! trust me.. haha..
Biochemistry -
NO NEED TO BUY period!! handouts given by the dept are so complete!! totally spoon-fed!! haha plus borrow sample exams or SAMPLEX!!!

BUY ATLAS OF HISTOLOGY made by the dept!!! IT IS ESSENTIAL!!! plus limited copies available so hurry and buy at UST publishing house!! and borrow handouts from higher years especially SAMPLEX (sample exams!!) it is totally undeniably needed!! hahaha!!! no need to buy Cabral but if u wanted to be DL or wat den buy it.. but really ders no need to buy Cabral..
Neuroanatomy -
theres a rumor that this subject will be abolished!! but if not...
Borrow lecture handouts from higher years bcoz only a few Doctors give supplementary handouts..
no need to buy a book but Haines is a gud investment!!.. the key hir in Neuroana is listen and jot down notes.. thats all u need.. promise..
Gross Anatomy - in our batch they gave the modules at the end of 1st shift so i suggest that u
go immediately to Dra. Natividad Santos author of the module so that u can have the supply of module ahead of time b4 u hav ur quizzes etc..
BUY NETTER!!! VERY VERY IMPORTANT.. no need to buy macmin or other ana buks.. the key in studying gross ana are the modules of dra. santos and netter!! thats it!!

dept will give modules.. no problem.. But one doctor (maepal to promise) will force you to buy a her book just for one freaking exercise.. (mas tigasin ako d ako bumili haha!) she will take it against ur grade if u dont buy (tulad ko.. haha) so
buy her book.. haha!
Medical Ethics - now that Dra. Alora retired.. no nid to buy a booK!! the doctors or Fr. Aligan
