Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics for
the PDA
This is the classic pocket guide for the intern, resident, sub-I,
and yes, the frightened third year medical student just starting
his or her medicine rotation.
The PDA version of the
Washington Manual has the same information as the book version -
without the ring binding.
It's been designed for quick reference on a variety of the most
common inpatient problems. In its most recent edition, it has been
updated for diseases like West Nile that have become more prevalent
in the last few years.

No matter how experienced or how knowledgeable a medical professional
is, it always helps to have a handy reference guide available which
can answer even the most complicated questions and assist with the
most unusual diagnoses. For decades, the Washington Manual of Medical
Therapeutics (Wash Manual) has been that guide. Now the Wash Manual
is available in a more convenient form to make it even easier for
medical professionals to find the information they need.
The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics: Handheld Version
For more than 40 years, the Wash Manual has been helping medical
professionals understand how to help their patients better. Some
have even referred to it as "the Bible of the medical ward." Originally
written by members of the Washington University School of Medicine's
Department of Medicine, the Wash Manual is currently in its thirty-first
edition. As with every edition, this one is packed with even more
useful information and includes new additions to fit the changing
challenges of the medical profession.
Below are a few of the latest additions to the Wash Manual:
Nosocomial infections
West Nile virus
Bioterrorism agents
AIDS/HIV management updates
JNC VII guidelines for hypertension management
The program also includes a quick reference section on prescription
drugs so medical professionals can easily find the medication information
they need to help their patients start feeling better faster.
One of the most helpful features of the Washington Manual of Medical
Therapeutics is that it is now available for the Palm OS® (see other
Palm
medical software packages) and Windows Mobile™ Pocket PC. That
means this useful, time-saving resource can be with medical professionals
when they need it. Plus, it can be integrated with other portable
programs to form an even more comprehensive utility.
