Georgetown University School of Medicine
Starting in 2009, first year students at Georgetown’s School of Medicine were required to purchase an iPod Touch or iPhone through the school at a discounted rate, with the devices tightly integrated into the school’s curriculum. The requirement has now been revised with the class of 2014. Android tablets and phones are now permitted for use, and institutional purchasing is gone. The school provides a list of recommended and required apps for students, which include Epocrates, Skyscape Medical Resources, and First Consult.
Georgetown is one of the few schools to embrace a multi-device approach. Most schools are equipping students with an Apple device or requiring them to purchase one. Georgetown is likely on the forefront of this shift away from an Apple exclusive approach. Expect more Android. Maybe Windows Phone 7, too.
