Pharm Phlash!
As a pharmacy student, I am always looking for more efficient and fun ways to study. I came across this article and wanted to share this information about an app that is called "Pharm Phlash!" It's not only for pharmacy students, but useful for anyone in the health field and even pharmacists that need to stay updated on different medications. There are so many drugs out on the market right now and the number is only increasing everyday, and Pharm Phlash! focuses on 400 of the most frequently prescribed drugs. It provides the usual reference information, but with other pearls and features relevant to the real-world. This app can help in Pharmacodynamics, Therapeutics, and PCM (patient care management) classes along with many other classes pharmacy students have to take. Have you ever looked at a drug name and wondered how it would be pronounced? This app can give you the correct pronunciation of the drug name through the phone's external microphone and handy mnemonics to remember certain things about the drug. I think this is a great feature to have and I know that this will be useful for a lot of us. This mobile flash card app colorfully highlights pertinent drug features, and lists patient counseling points for nearly four-hundred of the most frequently prescribed generic drugs. "This application is great for students, who find themselves wanting to study in line at the coffee shop, or brush up on pharmacology during a rotation." Here is the link to the article and I hope this app can help you in your studies too!! Let me know what you guys think and if you would use it or not. I believe it is available for iPhone and Android phones.
That's so incredible and at the same time not such a great idea. Yes, there are a lot of drugs, interaction, side effects etc that some pharmacist might get confused. But at the same time, we might just depend on this app and not really learn any of the material for school. Then anyone can be a drug expert.
