Boka's Notes Internal Medicine app for iPhone and iPad

BOKA’S NOTES™ is a series of separate but unified notes containing quick and useful reference tools designed for use by medical students, interns, and residents studying internal medicine.

Initially conceived and compiled in 2010, as an intern survival guide, Bokas Notes™ is created by a board-certified internal medicine physician and has undergone many updates and revisions. Already in use by dozens of medical students, interns, and medical residents, it is finally available in app format!

Possessing a unified resource as a pupil of medicine can be a daunting task, even in todays world where the Internet has made learning so much easier. Medical students, interns, and residents value their time and require a quick reference on how to walk, talk, write, and how to present their patients on rotations.

This is why Bokas Notes™ was developed. The Notes are meant to ease the transition-- bridging the small, but large gap between medical school and residency. They also serve as useful references for senior residents and rotators.

These Notes are designed for the following groups in training:

1.Third- year medical students.
2.Fourth-year medical students.
3.Internal Medicine Interns (especially in their first 6 months of residency).
4.Senior medical residents wishing to refresh their minds quickly.
5.Rotating residents from emergency, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, and surgery who are on the internal medicine wards or in the outpatient clinics.
6.Healthcare professionals interested in internal medicine.
