The iPod and iPhone as a medical tool
Catherine Lucey, Vice Dean of Education at The Ohio State University College of Medicine discusses their pioneering use of Apple’s iPod and iPhone as a true medical tool. OSU videotapes medical school lectures and makes them available on Podcasts. In the clinical setting, the devices serve as rapid sources of medical and drug information using a variety of special "apps".
Justin Harper, a fourth year medical student going into plastic surgery, began the program a few years ago. Now, OSU distributes iPods to all of its medical students and residents.
Dr. Lucey and Mr. Harper discuss how they set up the program how it functions.
