I've tried to use Pharmacist’s Letter mobile app, but I haven't had a lot of luck with it. Unfortunately every time you search a new topic, you must re-enter your login and password. I much preferred using this resource on my computer

Best Peer Advice

0 Students should be familiar with how to use the apps they select in advance of their rotation. The app is only faster if you know how to use it.

0 They should also check the apps results with their own calculations as to have confidence in the app. You do not want to be suggesting doses based on app calculations that turn out to be inaccurate.
