We now have so many apps that now we have difficult time choosing which one we should have on our iPhone or iPod touch. The following Five apps are very important for all medical professionals who are seeing patients. These apps serve the most common information needs of a clinician.

1. Epocrates. This application has evolved a lot since it started. It not only provides most up-to-date drug information but it also provides information on diagnostic test, symptoms, diseases and antibiotic guide. The Fee Rx app is good but the Epocrates Essentials offers a lot more.
   
2. ICD Meister. It is an app for practicing physician and healthcare professionals who needs to look up ICD-9 codes during billing process. Now you have this search capability as well as option to look up frequently searched codes right in this small app. This app will not only allow you to search the ICD-9 codes but allows you to bookmark the frequently searched codes in your favorite for quick reference later.
   
3. Medscape from WebMD. This app is new in the block but it free and offers Medical News, CME credits, Drug information, Drug Interaction informations, Physician / Pharmacy / Hospital directory with options to make call directly from the app. The Medical news is customizable to your specialty and interests.
