Announcing: The USMLE Disease Deck...with audio!


We're very pleased to announce our latest joint gWhiz - Kaplan Publishing's iPhone/iPod Touch application: Dr. Conrad Fischer's USMLE Disease Deck.  

For us non-medical types, the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) is used during the certification of medical doctors.  Dr. Conrad Fischer is a well known and respected physician and educator.   He has authored numerous study guides to assist students in learning internal medicine. 

The USMLE Disease Deck application includes subjects from ABO Incompatibility to Zollinger Ellison Syndrome (ZES), with a detailed description for each disease.  Students can either use the application for flashcard-based study or can look up particular items in the convenient reference mode.

A special feature of the app is the built-in audio where Dr. Fischer summarizes the characteristics and treatment of each disorder with a unique and fun presentation.    

If you're interested in learning more, check it out here in iTunes! (this requires iTunes to be installed)
