The World Medical Association announced the creation of a new application for tablet computers that will allow physicians to access a training course on the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
The application, created by the WMA and the New Jersey Medical School Global Tuberculosis Institute, gives physicians the flexibility to access the course material at any time, even when they are discussing treatment options with their patients. The application was developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization with financial support from the Eli Lilly MDR-TB partnership.
The new application contains the eight training modules which comprise the WMA's course on MDR-TB. It is intended as an introduction to MDR-TB management and is consistent with the principles of the WHO Stop TB Strategy. The application, which will be accessible from the Google and iPhone app webpages, will be available on 10-inch screen tablets as well as smaller displays, including smartphones, and is being released for the Android platform. The Apple iPad version will also be available shortly.
Here are links to the press releases and how to access it on the Google Play Store.
