As you can see from their \u201cAbout<\/a>\u201d page, they are very transparent in who is writing the blog posts. The editors work in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Oncology\/Surgery. Although the site is a little busy with ads and images, there is a nicely tabbed navigation system that allows users to browse posts based on device (iPhone, Android, iPad, Blackberry or All), Medical Specialty (31 to choose from including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Nephrology and Family Practice), or \u201cTop Apps\u201d by related fields or platforms.<\/p>\n Other Sites<\/em><\/p>\n Of course, there are other sites that will help you keep up with new with medical apps.
