Pharmacology & Google
Two recent phamacology related items are worthy of mention.
USBMIS (US Biomedical Information Systems) and McGraw-Hill have launched the Basic Concepts In Pharmacology guide. It is available for both the Palm and Pocket PC platforms.
Basic Concepts in Pharmacology contains an organized approach to the hundreds of drugs covered in pharmacology classes today. The unique design and ease of organization in this application yields greater retention and reduces stress for the pharmacology student preparing for a course review or for board exams.
The PDA edition provides all of the same valuable information as the print edition, as well as many additional features that can only be found within the PDA edition, in addition to the overall convenience of portable, mobile technology.
Exclusive PDA features include:
* Automatic updates to all chapters reflecting the latest advances in practice
* Bookmarks personalize your application for the information you access most frequently
* Interlinked content and a comprehensive index for easy searching
* Key concepts and definitions highlight essential information
* Charts, Tables and Illustrations allow easy comprehension of complex material
