An iPod Touch for every medical student

Ohio State is the only medical school offering the Apple devices to their students.

According to the press release, the iPod “can provide graphics, which allow students to refer to resources such as high quality images of each organ and nerve in the body. They can review images from multiple angles, access videos of medical treatments or surgical procedures, and request a review quiz at any time. In addition, detailed photographs on portable media players can help patients identify their current medications and immediately obtain a list of all potential drug interactions.”

They plan to outfit the device with a variety of medical applications.

Pretty forward thinking, and a trend that should spread to other schools.
