i am a medical student too. i have to deal with medical terms also stuffs a lot. i think if you are using n900 is a web based mobile device, you should search it over 3G or wifi. With internet access, u can search everything about medical things.
i do not need any app because app like this must be update everyday to get news about the field.

I use them just to get some idea, then I move onto Medical Consult for medical journal search. Did you subscribe to NEJM? Better do it now while your status remains student, which is 1$ a month. Not that I am recommending it, just take the student discount while you can.

I have yet to subscribe to NEJM.

Thank you very much for the tip.

And yeah, I'm no longer a student. I'm now facing worse things in life. *lol*

Knowledge is like starbuck coffee, there are quite several levels. At the level of student, google should get your brownie points. Being an attending, that is NOT sufficient.

There is NO medicine that "must be update everyday". I am still reading Goldsberg's 2nd edition of neurology made ridiculous simple, 1989? An aorta is an aorta, a transmet amp is a transmet amp, no change over years and years.

Welcome on board to all the allied health personnels, maybe this thread will churn out something useful.

Yes, I agree. I have yet to find something that's current day by day.

Up to Date gets "updated", if you will, 4 times out of the year.

And yeah, there are certain things that will never change, they even make reference to articles and journals from the 50s.

But health and the overall human body is now becoming dynamic in our understanding of it. The old school way of thinking doesn't apply that well anymore, especially to patient teaching.

Up to Date has it all in my opinion, others will state that Pepid or Lexi does it better. It's all about personal preference on how medical information can be easily found.

But for our newcomer who posted this thread, Garnet VM or Kchmviewer or VNC viewer is about all your tablet will have to offer you on this.

Don't overlook the power of SumSearch - a good medical search engine which works well on the NITs

You really should subscribe to anything you remotely like while as a student, as they never change one's status even you gradulated, that save some bucks. Oh well, you going to make a lot of greens, so start collecting receipts, you going to need them for the rest of your life. Remember, if you dont get audit, you are paying too much, my mentor told me that

so where are you now located?

I moved just about a month ago but I'm still here in Lansing, Michigan.

I don't care about the green and never will.

Just got a nice message from an agency today and it looks like they will sponsor me to do a medical volunteership over in Peru for the next six months.

Don't ask why I'm doing this. I guess I woke up one day and finally understood that life is short when you really look at it all..

Yeah, if you're talking about being online there's plenty of junk to use or find on the stupid web.

You need to be careful with this though.

Patient, "So what's my condition Doc?"

"Well, I Googled it and ..." *lol*

I thought that the original poster was asking for tablet specific programs though.

Great link by the way Ernesto!

Thank you.

There are also plenty of a-ehm "free" (in the Yaaaargh! sense) medical books out there. I've some on my N900, namely two Italian manuals of clinical therapy, and in English one compendium of psychotherapy, the dsm-iv, a textbook of physical diagnosis, "the" textbook of pharmacology, and "the" textbook of clinical medicine.
They are better than any app imho. PM for details.
