Top 4 Medical Books for 1st year Medical Students

It's been 6 blocks in my 1st year education at faculty of medicine gadjah mada university. I wanna share which book u will need to read in your 1st year medical course.
In 1st Block, We learnt about how to study in medical faculty. I thougt every student will learnt more than learning objective. Almost students had ethusiasme to study about the clinical case, dengue fever, purpura, metabolisme of hemoglobin, regulation of immune system, etc. Whereas, that clinical case will be studied in next blocks. Bio medical science will be studied in block 2 untill block 4, then we will learnt about clinical case since we reach block 7. What we learnt in block 5 and 6? I think it is a funny block because we learnt about "pancasila", medical entrepreneurship, and bioethic.
Let me review what book you need in your 1st year medical course
1. Dorland Dictionary
When you are approaching block 1, U will learnt about medical terminology. This medical dictionary will be usefull book that help you find the meaning of an unfamiliar terms.



2. Textbook of Medical Physiology
eventhough we didn't have to learnt physioogy at block 1, i recommended this medical books to be your 5stars physiology's books.
