The Medical College of Georgia is encouraging students to use their cell phones during class. The state's only public medical college has developed a suite of iPhone applications - called apps - designed to help students and faculty with everything from medical abbreviations to diagnosis codes. Others include a gestational calendar and a cholesterol management algorithm. In addition, students can use the apps to find buildings on campus, scroll through a course catalog and find out about events at the Augusta college. Administrators hope the apps can be used in the classroom, in the lab and bedside with patients.
