Medical FlashNotes is a clinical medicine reference and studying tool for students and residents, covering medicine, surgery, paediatrics, psychiatry, and obs & gynae. It is ideal for quickly looking up a condition on the wards, or studying for exams. Browse or use the quick autocomplete search to access concise reviews of thousands of conditions, presentations, and drugs, with the ability to turn anything you read into a flashcard by swiping it.

All the app data is stored offline - so there's no need to rely on wifi or a mobile signal - with a small file size of under 10 MB. The app is a free, non-commercial piece of FOAM (Free Open Access to Medical education).
