Here is the list of apps that we covered during our webcast, with a few minor additions. This list is not a complete list of all of the apps we use a student body, but these are some of the most commonly used. We're constantly discovering new apps that are helpfull as they are developed.   Notetaking  - iAnnotate (we demonstrated this with its dropbox integration, something we've found to be vital) - Noterize (demonstrated with annotated anatomy slides) - uPad (discussed during Q&A but not demonstrated) - Notes plus (not discussed, but similar to uPad) - Pages Textbooks  - VitalSource Bookshelf (demonstrated, more tradition ereader format)  - Inkling (demonstrated with Bates' Guide to Physical Examination & History Taking) - modalityBODY (demonstrated with Atlas of Anatomy from Thieme) - CourseSmart (mentioned but not demonstrated) Study tools  - Anki ("smart" flashcard app) - 3M Littmann SoundBuilder (discussed, heart murmur app with great background info and visuals, synthesized heart sounds) - iMurmur (not mentioned, but another heart murmur app with real heart sounds) - Numbers (demonstrated) - Many, many more being discovered   Patient communication  - JiffPad (demonstrated) - Draw MD (not mentioned, but another patient education app that allows you to easily build visual explanations for patients)   If you have any questions about these apps or our experience with apps in general, feel free!

The short answer: yes. And now for a longer version:   In the first year we received all of the textbooks for our courses that were available on the iPad. At the time, the two apps that featured out texts were VitalSource Bookshelf and CourseSmart. Later in the year, some titles became available via Inkling.   This year, I believe the first year class received more titles via Inkling. I'm not sure of the specifics.   Our class (now second-year medical students) was again gifted a couple of textbooks on the iPad this year. Because our second year curriculum consists primarily of pathology, pharmacology, microbiology, and clinic foundations (our doctoring course), less titles were required.   We have access to our pathology text via VitalSource Bookshelf, and our perpetual subscription to Bates' Guide to the Physical Examination (for Clinical Foundations) has been shifted from VitalSource to Inkling. Our core pharmacology and microbiology titles are available through university subscription to AccessMedicine, which we can view using Safari and, if we're off campus, a VPN profile we've installed on our iPads.
