Mobile Medical Apps
These selected apps provide a great way for students to build their own app libraries. Except where noted, all are compatible with iPhone, iPad, iTouch, and Android devices.
Having trusted references on your phone or tablet means you can double-check a drug interaction or look up a condition in seconds, whether you're on rotation, studying between classes, or reviewing for an exam. These apps are a convenient complement to the eBooks and question banks also available through the Library.
Beyond the apps listed above, many eBook platforms like AccessMedicine also offer their own companion apps, so it's worth checking whether a resource you already use through the Library has a mobile version. When choosing between apps, consider which ones offer offline access, since a reliable drug reference or clinical calculator can be especially useful in settings with limited internet connectivity during clinical rotations.
