Touch Surgery might be the new best app for med students…especially those who want to pursue a surgical field. Using thorough lessons, simulation and practice tests, the app (for iPhone and Android) walks you through several common surgical procedures; from an appendectomy to knee replacements. The simulations are interactive, requiring you to respond precisely to the instructions for making incisions, retracting and suturing. As you progress through various modules, you can save and track your progress. The simulations are even in 3D, so that the student can get “real life” experience with different surgical procedures. It’s like a Da Vinci Robot on the go! Touch Surgery is a really neat learning tool designed with the med student in mind; even if you aren’t gunning to become a surgeon, the app is actually really fun– and it’s free. You can “operate” on the subway, in the bathtub, or even over your morning coffee. [Broken External Image]:https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2...s18uVa6-l7SiBnRxnTDrcLR4j3iBIAkQ3dI_FFhAQXXzA Source
