title: How Your Smartphone or Tablet Can Make You a Smarter Doc.
abstract: Increasingly, physicians and medical students are integrating apps that run on smartphones and tablets into their clinical work. This article describes a small anecdotal study of app use among third-year University of Minnesota medical students and their faculty preceptors. We describe apps used by the students and physicians we interviewed and offer guidance for choosing apps that are reliable, useful and up to date.
