3. New England Journal of Medicine

The NEJM app is clearly a must have for all health care professionals. The caveat is that when this app was released the NEJM stated it would be free for a “limited time” in the iTunes description — that was more than 5 months ago and the app still remains free, allowing you to access fantastic NEJM content customized for the mobile format. The app allows you to access the last 7 days worth of published articles, along with images of various medical conditions and videos on how to perform procedures such as LPs and chest tubes. Where this app is essential though is with the weekly audio summaries and the selection of four full text audio reads of clinical practice articles.  Note, you can access the weekly audio summaries via podcast format as well.  This type of content access in mobile form is great for keeping abreast of changing clinical practices while driving back and forth to work or when having downtime in the wards.
