patachok Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hey fellow students and PAs. I seem to recall that a similar thread was floating around, but my search "spell" does not seem to find it. Question is, which apps did you find the most valuable during your rotations, as well as in your practice? If you can, please specify whether you use apple or android. Thank you!

Snoopy1023 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Epocrates, Physical Exam Essentials by HippoSoft, Diagnosarus, iTriage, ErRes Prognosis Your Diagnosis is a good game/quiz type app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes797 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Do you recommend buying UpToDate? It's $100 for a 1 year subscription with an AAPA student membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patachok Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 We have that through school for free, it is an absolutely wonderful resource in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinntsp Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I downloaded PEPID, but it requires a username and password, but no option in the app. Is registration online? I get it free through my school and had to go through some backdoor registration link but you can just check out their website if your school doesn't have a license. And AgileMD is amazing! Thank you so much wutthechris! Np! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREID Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Epocrates, medscape, and uptodate. These are the three apps I use. As a student you more than likely have access to uptodate free you just need to investigate. You can also get epocrates free as well if your a student. And medscape is always free. These are top notch apps...and free is always good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted epocrates and they said they can only give me a 10% discount as a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koppma Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It depends on your school for epocrates. Our school bought it for us to use and gave us the code to put in our iPads/ iPhones/ or whatever you are using. Really it isn't free because you pay for it in your tuition.

Moderator True Anomaly Posted April 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2014 Extra plug for ErRes for when you do your ER rotation. It's a solid app with excellent evidence-based guidelines and resources. It was also done by a good friend of mine whom I did residency with in Philly- he's now a wilderness medicine fellow, but he did the app as his scholarly project during residency. I promise I make no money and/or beers for this plug- I just know it's solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
