A unique tool for teaching and learning the top 100 most teachable topics in internal medicine There are many challenges for residents when training students who are making the big "jump" from preclinical to clinical. Most notably, they need to find time to pick and prepare topics to teach in meaningful ways without the availability of a blackboard in the learning hospital. Students also need to quickly be able to grasp these concepts quickly and with the ability to recall them later. This teaching manual primarily focuses on physiology/pathophysiology/exam findings with the goal of providing content to make teaching and learning on the wards easier for both attendings/senior residents and interns/medical students. It features the 100 most teachable topics (clinical pearls) in an image-based presentation and will cover all the major disciplines of internal medicine, including cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrine, and infectious disease. Each topic, or card, has an image on one side to prompt discussion (ECG, CXR, physical exam finding, etc.), and the flip side includes teaching points organized in question and answer format. They are presented in a pocket-sized binder with removable cards so both residents and students can remove only the topics of the day or ones they need to study. Features: β’ Each topic area has been reviewed by a specialist at Harvard Medical School. β’ Visual, easy-to-use and reference tool for on-the-go β’ Discusses the "why" behind a teachable topic β’ Q&A format serves both rotation and exam prep β’ Case-based to practice clinical pearls and complex topics This app is very intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing you to browse the contents or search for topics. The powerful search tool gives you word suggestions that appear in the text as you type, so it is lightning fast and helps with spelling those long medical terms. The search tool also keeps a recent history of past search terms so you can go back to a previous search result very easily. You have the ability to create notes, and bookmark cards as Know or Don't Know to help with studying. There is also a Random tab to quiz yourself on a randomly selected card. You can also change the text size for easier reading. After the app has been downloaded, no internet connection is needed to retrieve the content of the app. All of the text and images are available to you on your device anytime, anywhere, and lightning fast. This app is also automatically optimized for whatever size device you are currently using, either phone or tablet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: X at $2.99 against Teaching Rounds's $34.99. X also leads on chart position (#165 vs unranked). Teaching Rounds's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
