MDC Mobile upgrading to Pocket Consult - Free Handheld Drug Database included

At the end of June, MDC Mobile will be upgraded and will be delivered via Elsevier's new handheld platform, Pocket Consult. Pocket Consult is your user's gateway to accessing and managing all Elsevier handheld products and services in one place. It will bring them all the features they currently enjoy from MDC Mobile, plus many more.

MDC Mobile on Pocket Consult offers you these new features:

Access to Mosby's Drug Consult with over 900 drug monographs including brand-name indexing and the all-new Mosby's Drug IX, a drug interaction tool
20 Free Medical Calculators including BMI, Glasgow Coma Scale, Sodium Deficit, Metric Unit Conversion and more.
Integrated mobile library for accessing Elsevier electronic books you may have purchased for your PDA.
Plus, you continue to receive all of your current MDC Mobile features:
Ability to store and record searches of MD Consult from your PDA and initiate them upon Hot Sync
Access to abstracts and Tables of Contents from over 400 Journals on PubMed
Health news and Drug Updates from MD Consult

The transition to Pocket Consult will be easy as your users simply link to Pocket Consult by clicking the "My PDA" button located in the upper right of the MD Consult homepage screen. The first time they access Pocket Consult they will be asked to create a new Pocket Consult account, with all their profile information automatically being pre-populated for them. They will then manage all of their MDC Mobile content and features at Pocket Consult. Note, any existing journal selections and saved searches will be transferred to Pocket Consult as well.
