MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (PRWEB) August 16, 2005 -- Skyscape® today announced that leading Medical, Nursing and Allied Health teaching institutions including Vanderbilt University, Drexel University and the University of Texas Medical Branch have incorporated Skyscape?s mobile solutions to provide a new level of convenience in learning as their students head back to school. These schools have selected the mobile versions (on PDAs and Smartphones) of trusted references that they have used ?in print,? for decades, including gold standard works such as the Taber?s Medical Dictionary, A to Z Drug Facts, and the Harrison's Manual of Medicine.
?Skyscape mobile reference portfolio is the largest in the industry with over 300 titles in over 30 specialties,? says Dr. Fran Cornelius of Drexel University. ?This breadth of offerings has enabled us to select exactly those point-of-care references for important drug, disease and diagnostic information that specifically suit our curriculum.?
The trusted content from Skyscape and the easy-to-use nature of Skyscape solutions, enable students and institutions to equip themselves with the latest in learning and practicing tools. In addition, Skyscape?s ?smARTrain? Educational program provides attractive pricing options that are designed to meet the needs of the individual student and the budgets of the teaching institutions.
To-date over 350 educational programs and over 100,000 students have selected Skyscape?s mobile reference solutions making it the most successful program of its kind in the country.
?Now students can refer to the most minute detail about a life threatening disorder, about drug dosing or drug-drug interactions, whether they are at the patients beside, in the class room or during a study session in the cafeteria,? says Dr. Renee McLeod of Vanderbilt University.
Mobile medical resources such as those available from Skyscape are creating a new class of physicians who are armed early in their career, with resources that help minimize errors and improve the quality of care within the nation?s healthcare system.
