Outline  University of Michigan  The course

Mobile Resources in Undergraduate Medical Education: The History  Increasing number of questions related to mobile access to resources in sessions  Vendors providing and promoting access to their products on a mobile platform  Increase in students with their own mobile device (NOT a school initiative!)

In Feb 2010, M3s were asked "What handheld technology do you feel has been helpful for you during your M3 year, if any?" There were 52 respondents. Helpful Hardware  38% use an iPod Touch  36% use an iPhone  16% use Pen/Paper/Book  6% use a Blackberry  2% use a Windows Mobile Smartphone  2% use a Standalone PDA Helpful Software:  38% use Epocrates Rx or Essentials (subscription version)Epocrates Rx or Essentials  19% use Wifi for Google, Wikipedia, and UpToDateUpToDate  16% use Pen/Paper/Book  14% use DiagnosaurusDiagnosaurus  9% use Eponyms for iPhone/iPod*Eponyms From UMMS LRC Smartphone and Handheld Purchasing Guide:

We started with…

Which quickly became… Which soon became unwieldy

Promoting our mobile resources: the guide  Focus on resources that are FREE to everyone or FREE through library subscriptions  NOT comprehensive  NOT reviewed by librarians  Cover the major platforms  Be mobile-friendly

The Course: Development  3 session M2 elective (10 students)

The Course: Rationale & Objectives Librarians Evaluate Select Install OME Setup devices for UMMS Environment Technologists Design Program Release

The Course: Pre-Course Survey  Device Breakdown  iPhone – 6  Android – 2  iPads – 4 (users/interested)  Apps in use  Calendar &  Google Drive  Dropbox  Epocrates  Micromedex  Medscape  IDDx  What to discuss? “hopefully some apps that will make life on the wards much easier next year.” “I’m always eager to hear about apps someone else has found that work for them.” “I was interested in learning what apps are out there [for] dx, drug dosing, etc. when we are on the wards next year.”

The Course: Our Session  Installation & Registration  Focus: major clinical apps E.g. Dynamed, Micromedex, Epocrates, E-Books, Diagnosaurus  Hands on & demos  Use predeveloped clinical scenarios  App evaluation  Use locally created one as guinea pig

The Course: Evaluation

Post-Course Debrief  Pre- & Post- survey next year  Send checklist of to-dos to students before course  Balance Android & iPhone discussions  Ensure better consistency between sessions  Create unified web presence for all of our content
