* * * Dermatology residents are utilizing apps for up-to-date and accurate information. Vincent A. DeLeo, MD, talks to Orit Markowitz, MD, and medical student Cynthia Chan about the regulation of mobile medical apps, with an emphasis on the three apps most frequently used by residents. "I do think that while we have to be hesitant in incorporating these technologies, I also think that the silver lining is that it's going to help us also come up with better ways to standardize our education," Dr. Markowitz reflects. Dr. Markowitz and Ms. Chan also discuss how residents and clinicians can be more diligent about the apps they're using to get health information.
