We thought it might be helpful to those of you who use iPhones or iPads if we listed the applications which we have believe might aid your studies. Many of these applications may also be available for for other types of tablets and smartphones if you are not an Apple user but we only have direct experience of using these applications on iPads and iPhones.

We have not been involved in the development of any of these applications and we have not been asked by the application developers to recommend them to you. Furthermore we do not receive any payments for making these recommendations to you.

If you discover any additional applications which you think would benefit other medical students please let us know and we will add the appropriate information to this page. Click here to email recommendations
