UW debuts medical residency app for iPhone

August 3, 2010 By Bob Hague

An iPhone application developed by the UW Department of Family Medicine helps fourth-year medical students find postgraduate training that best fits their needs. Dr. Kathy Oriel, director of DFM’s residency program, says it will help students decide on their residency based on multiple levels. “It’s kind of crazy, but yes, that’s what they can do,” says Oriel. “The technology is there, we just had to find someone who could offer what we wanted to do, and put in an iPhone application.”

Oriel notes there’s a huge primary care physician shortage, and family care doctors are the ones who’ll need to step up and fill that.”Two thirds of residents stay in the area in which they do their training, so as we look to the future shortage of family physicians across Wisconsin, we hope that this is a very small way to attract more high-quality docs to our state.” The app was released officially just last week, but some students had already found it and begun using it on their own
