My hybrid program requires them as well. They are great for practicing these skills before you go on campus.
I got these:

They seemed to get the job done. I will say that the otoscope isn’t great but from what I’ve read is without spending A LOT of money the quality won’t be great.
Good luck.
I used Dr. Satar (pathoma) to supplement path and physiology. His program is amazing!!!
My other half is in med school so I stole his "First aid" book. That thing is super helpful: First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 2018, 28th Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1260116123/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_np.ZDbN2E99SM
Also used sketchy pharm and osmosis a ton. (A lot of the osmosis videos can be found on YouTube) There is also another guy on youtube I used: Dr. Armondo Hausdungan.
For all my primary care courses I supplemented with the Fitzgerald, APEA, and Leik books doing all the sections in each book for whatever was going on in class.
I really thought the Margaret Fitzgerald Review was great. I bought the MP3 and review book. I also did the Leik book review. I took the AANP and passed the first time.
Hope this helps!

I found it invaluable and still pull it out from time to time. Enjoy the NICU - it's a fabulous world!
