My Go-to Medical Apps

Epocrates

Epocrates is very famous among interns but I would not recommend it because it makes you not rely confidently on your own understanding of the clinical picture and diagnosis. And secondly you can't treat your patient based on algorithms. This app is available as a free download which is not very useful. You have to get a subscription in order to see how it works.

Android (Free)  iOS (Free)  Amazon (Free)

Description

Access Epocrates’ trusted clinical resources faster and more conveniently than ever from your iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, or iPod touch. 

More than 1 million active members, including 50% of U.S. physicians, rely on Epocrates to enable better patient care by delivering the right information, right when it’s needed. 

Healthcare professionals worldwide use Epocrates routinely to: 


-Find providers for consults and referrals in the Provider Directory

-Review drug prescribing and safety information for thousands of brand, generic, and OTC drugs

-Check for potentially harmful drug-drug interactions among up to 30 drugs at a time

-Select national and regional healthcare insurance formularies for drug coverage information
