Here's Berkeley's list, Sarah. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/medhealth.html
We don't have a med school at UCB, but there's a lot of interest in medicine from a public policy or ethical standpoint, so that's what we tend to buy. Not all of these are timely, and some may be out of distribution, but there's a lot of good stuff in there, too. If you need or want distributors for any of these, contact me off the list.
