As overjoyed as some doctors are to finally have the title of "Doctor," it can suddenly be cause for panic as he or she realizes the sheer amount of responsibility that comes with thr title. You can help calm his or her nerves with a little congratulations present. Giving a gift can not only express your best wishes, but the gift can also be useful for the new doctor to use in his or her career.
Business Card Case
The new doctor is going to have to have business cards to carry around on a daily basis. While the choice of business cards should be left for him or her to choose, you can give a personalized business card case. You can put the recipient's name on it along with his or her new occupation.
Personalized Stethoscope
Many doctors carry around stethoscopes, so it can be a nice gesture to give one to the new doctor. Choose one in the recipient's favorite color, such as blue or pink. The bright colors may especially be a good choice if the recipient will be working around children, as many kids love vivid colors. You can personalize the stethoscope with the doctor's name.
Medical Dictionary
A medical dictionary can be quite useful for a new doctor. He or she will most likely reference it often during the beginning years of his or her career. Make sure to purchase the most up-to-date edition of the book. An option for a medical dictionary is Webster's New World Medical Dictionary.
Briefcase
A professional-looking briefcase can be a practical gift to give to a new doctor. The recipient can easily transport books, papers, folders and any other necessary items wherever he or she will be going. Opt for a briefcase that has a strap on it that the recipient can wear over the shoulder if he or she chooses not to carry it by hand.
St. Luke Physician's Medal
Some doctors rely on prayers and spiritual guidance to help them in their profession. Consider getting the recipient a St. Luke physician's medal. The recipient can pray to St. Luke, the patron saint of physicians, whenever he or she needs to. You can give just the medal or attach it to a chain so the recipient can wear it around the neck.
