Studying for USMLE Step 1 or 2? There are a few options for mobile “flashcard” type apps for iPhone and iPod Touch out there. Some cost $20-$45 (Lange Q bank -Step 2 $33;  Dr. Conrad’s Disease Deck $20; First Aid Q& A series $45), another is under $3 (USMLE Buzz Flash Cards). The folks at iPhone Medical App Review, a vendor-supported blog (so take their recommendations with the proper grain of salt), have recruited medical students to review several of these apps. The consensus seems to be while they won’t replace the full-featured tools from the popular test prep leaders like Kaplan and USMLE World, they are handy for studying during unexpected downtimes.
