4.3. Required Equipment

All students will be required to purchase a short, white lab coat and the “IHP PA Kit,” which will include all equipment needed for the duration of the program. The IHP PA Kit will include: a cardiology-grade stethoscope, a sphygmomanometer, a reflex hammer, one each 128 Hz and 512 Hz tuning forks, an ophthalmoscope/otoscope, and measuring tape.  Information regarding purchase of the kit will be provided after matriculation in the program. Delivery of the kits will take place during the first semester. 

Failure to report to practical examinations or clinical experiences with the required equipment will affect the student’s grade for that exam or experience.
