Best Stethoscopes for medical school
The most popular, but slightly expensive: 3M Littmann Cardiology III
The slightly cheaper, not as good, but probably sufficient for medical school: 3M Littman Lightweight II SE
Best bang for buck according to review: Omron Sprague Rappaport

Nice chart comparing all the Littmann varieties: http://www.steeles.com/

Best Otoscope/Ophthalmoscopes (Ask your medical school if you really need to purchase this. Typically this becomes useless after medical school. Most examination rooms already have these in them)
Pocket size, cheap, not easiest to use, but serves the purpose: Welsch Allyn Pocket Set
Larger size, more expensive, easier to use, probably overkill for a student: Welsch Allyn Set
