MDC Mobile is included at no additional charge as part of the MD Consult service, which works with 285,000 paid users at more than 1,700 health care institutions around the world. According to the company, it provides medical professionals with the ability to search MD Consult, daily feeds of medical news, weekly drug updates, and access to the latest abstracts from hundreds of medical journals via the "Mobile Library" function.
