The University of Louisville, KY has begun providing its medical and dental students access to a PDA-based drug reference application from ePocrates, Inc.. The University formed an agreement with ePocrates to offer its 900 medical and dental students access to the ePocrates RxPro hand-held clinical software, which consists of continually updated information on more than 2,900 drugs and 400 herbal medicines. It also includes a multiple drug interaction checking application.
Many of the University's students already were using the application before it was made part of their curriculum. Other schools, including Harvard Medical School, Florida State University College of Medicine, Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Duke University School of Medicine also offer their students subscriptions to the RxPro application. Additionally, other schools and residency programs offer student discounts for the software.
So...if you're involved in a medical school or residency program, contact ePocrates to see if you can work out a deal! :-)
