Textbook Information

Find the required and recommended textbooks for each stage of the SJSM curriculum below, along with information on AccessMedicine and student supplies.

Having the right textbooks on hand from day one makes it easier to keep pace with coursework, especially during the fast-moving pre-clinical semesters. If you're unsure which edition or title to purchase for a specific course, check with your course coordinator or reach out to the Library before buying.

Many required textbooks are also available electronically through AccessMedicine, which can be a more affordable or convenient option than purchasing a physical copy, especially for titles you'll only need for a single course. If you're trying to decide between editions, check with your course coordinator, since course material and assigned readings are often tied to a specific edition.

Before purchasing any textbook, it's worth checking whether it's already accessible through AccessMedicine, since this can save a meaningful amount of money over the course of your studies. For titles that aren't available electronically, buying used copies from upperclassmen or online marketplaces is often a practical way to reduce costs, as long as you confirm the edition matches what your course currently requires.
