If you go into any hospital or medical practice today, you will probably find that many of the heath care personnel are using the iPhone. There is a wealth of applications for the device that help doctors and other professionals get the information they need to stay ahead.

MedPage Today has announced that it has released its iPhone application to keep medical personnel in touch with breaking medical news. The publication is designed to help doctors and nurses get prepared to answer questions that patients will be asking about things they see in the news.

Almost as important as being ready to answer questions for medical pros is the fact that they can get CE credits for reading articles on the MedPage Today site to meet their licensure requirements. The app is available now.
