As a student who misplaced his school-issued PDA sometime at the beginning of clerkship and replaced it with an iPod Touch, I can't believe how much better these devices are. There's an absolute boom in programming so there's tons of good software available, patients love them, and it's a great way to impress old surgeons who marvel at the pretty pictures in the Netter's Flashcards. ;) The iPhone/iPod Touch are totally the way to go for medical education.

This is their first year doing this. Actually Georgetown University provides an iTouch or iPhone for every second year to use as third years on the wards. This is their first year doing this.

It shows me that OSU is tech-ready and willing to outfit their students with important tools to assist in point of care, clinical and diagnostic decisions. <br/><br/>Good for you OSU... and this comes from an OSU football hater... haha :) Yeah this is a publicity stunt… a great one at that.

Especially with all their debt, why not be afforded a nice piece of technology? <br/><br/>Now they have great access at the point of care to applications that can help their clinical and diagnostic understanding. This would help sway my decision if it were down to OSU and someone else. <br/><br/>This shows that the school is tech-ready and willing to outfit their students.

How is this any different from PDAs? And why would anyone study on an iPod when they most likely have a laptop or desktop available? Sounds like a publicity stunt to me.
