Apps for Health Professionals

A guide to medical apps for Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, and other devices.

Apps For All

Students in every program and health professionals of all specialties will be interested in these apps. All of the apps included here are highly rated and/or were recommended by IHP faculty. Most of the apps are free or inexpensive. We have avoided recommending very expensive apps (of which there are many aimed at health professionals). As always, make sure that an app is compatible with your device.

Continuing Education

Most health professionals are expected to earn continuing education (CE) credits in order to renew licenses and stay current in their field. These apps are intended for any type of provider and are not limited to a certain discipline.
