How do you keep up with the medical literature?
- You can carry around articles in your lab coat to read when you have a free moment.
- You can read pdf articles on your laptop at home.
- You can listen to podcasts reviewing literature.
About six months ago, the New England Journal of Medicine released a mobile app for the iOS platform (iPhone, iPod Touch). Free-access articles from the past 7 days are available to read. There are also select articles from the Images and Videos series. Audio podcasts are also available which review recent articles.
This a pretty cool app, especially because it's free. It would be great if more journals followed this innovative initiative.
