MyNOSM• Where all your course information (WGS, CLS,
CBL, TOS, LAB) will be located the first day and for the rest of your time at NOSM!
• Timed release as the curriculum progresses. • Location for all (fake) community info.

Medical Websites• The most used websites/resources by students for TOS and
WGS supplementary information.• All available for free on the NOSM Library website.• Listed in order of usefulness.
1. Up-to-date/First Consult/MD Consult – DEPICT information (Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Imaging, Clinical, Treament)
2. Wikipedia/WebMD – less credible resources, but often a good starting point for a topic. Brief low level descriptions.
3. Online & PDF Textbooks – Excellent for pictures for TOS notes, extra info for WGS, LAB, etc
4. e-Journals – excellent, peer-reviewed information, but often too specific for the topic. More useful in later years (3rd, 4th, PGY1)
5. eCPS/e-therapeutics – Gold Standard drug information, but often same as Up-to-date, Epocrates, etc.

studies and med school life in general! TOS, WGS, LAB, CBL, you can store all your information here.

Medical Apps
• ECG Guide ($0.99) – excellent to brush up on ECG’s• Gray’s Anatomy ($2.99)– full Anatomy software,
excellent for before you head into the OR!• **Epocrates Essentials ($159 for FREE!!!! Till the
end of August) – visit http://www.epocrates.com/ma/FreeforMedicalStudents2010/ - I highly recommend this. It is a fusion of multiple medical applications (ex: med calc, medscape, lexi, etc)
• Download Apps to your IPad through the App store. In order to purchase apps, you must have credit card information (thank you Line of Credit!).

• Medscape (WebMD) – (Free) – good basic medical reference. Quick, easy to find treatment information. Not always the most up to date.
• Lexi-Comp (expensive, but purchased for you by NOSM in 3rd year) – Excellent, peer reviewed information. Provide indepth understanding of medical information. Not very user friendly.
• Up-to-date (website hosting) – save the website to your desktop via NOSM Library and it becomes a Webbased App! Same as website.

Networking & Data Transfer• Vonage – linked through your facebook account, you
can phone other Vonage App users for FREE through Wifi! Useful in the school when you don’t have a signal!
