The best apps for medicine

Medicine Apps

                             

1. Medscape

Along with drug reference information, the app contains an Interaction checker, News, and CME education.

2. MicroMedex

 The app is a fantastic prescription drug reference tool. There is no registration required, and the overall user interface is clean and easy to use.

3. Calculate by QxMD

Every physician knows having a good medical calculator is crucial in almost any specialty.

4. Patient Education apps: Draw MD series / Cancer.net / inMotion 3D

The flagship of this ideal has to be the Draw MD series. The Draw MD apps do exactly what their name state. They enable physicians to draw out surgical procedures to their patients in a palatable manner.

5. AHRQ ePSS

Aptly named “Electronic Preventive Services Selector”, their iPad app does not disappoint. 

6. Radiology 2.0: One Night in the ED

The reason for the look of shock is due to the massive amount of content curated for the app. The app contains 65 Radiology cases that pertain to Emergency Medicine.

7. Free iBooks

The release of iBooks 2 and the accompanying iBooks author has created a massive gap in the market for interactive electronic textbooks created by physicians, for physicians.

8. 3D Virtual Simulation Medical Apps: Upper Respiratory Virtual Lab / iLarynx

Learning about the airway takes a completely different meaning with these two apps. Even if you’re not in critical care medicine, you can appreciate the sophistication and ingenuity behind these apps. 

9. Free Journals and PDF management solutions: Lancet / Circulation / Dropbox / Evernote

As more medical professionals are reading on their iPad — medical journals have realized the importance of shifting their content to an iPad friendly form.

10. MedPage Today

MedPage Today has always been one of our favorite apps. To those not familiar, MedPage Today is an online medical news service for physicians and healthcare professionals.
