I have a few medical ebooks I use for certain things. (I'm in Radiology) Mainly with notes etc...
I have never found anything substantial either. I also have a few offline med web pages with a few diagrams & images, but nothing particularly useful.
I will check again though.

i am also keenly interested in this subject, since I have used PDAs in medicine mostly for quick drug references and sometimes diagostics/treatment plan.
I am not aware of any software that would effectively turn P8/900 into a fully capable PDR. I would be more than happy to pay for such software, since it is rather cumbersome to carry around a P900 IN ADDITION to your PDA and your pager.

I use Handy Databank to load medicine databases etc. onto the phone for quick reference. You can convert any database with this app.

@Dr.P900>
The company I work for specializes in the design and development of a HMIS (Hospital Information Management System) application. It basically does what you've talked about but on a much broader and more advanced and medically technical scale. Handles all aspects of patient admission, monitoring, examination, treatment, investigations, prescriptions, surgeries, procedures and even things like stock management. Our application runs on Windows and has already been ported to Pocket PC/Windows Mobile for doctors to use it on their handhelds.
When I got my P800 in January, I thought of researching the idea of porting it to Symbian / P800 but the idea kind of lost steam. Then when I got my P900 last month, the idea got some revival but I wasn't sure if there would be a lot of demand for such a thing...

Mimzo,
It is a natural evoultion kind of things for smartphones to be an alternative to PDAs without phone capabilities, most of the doctors i work with carry both, and since a lot of ppl are searching for integrating both the phone and the PDA in one single device (IMO a smartphone is better than a Phone enabled PDA) i think symbian platform should start accomodating the needs of such a cetegory of users, like it has been increasingly meeting the demands of other categories of professions (business for instance).
I am well aware of several companies who have established a huge database in hospitals linked with end users PDAs (doctors) who can access the files on the hospital database via there devises through Wi-Fi or LAN (needs terminal connection). I hope u can really draw the developers at your company to start meeting the demands of those ppl who are shifting to the smart phone and who really wanna integrate all in one device. and i hope that there would be some end users programs for the smartphone that works independentantly from the hospital huge sophisticated database systems.
Thanks

Well I am a clinical pharmacologist working in the field of addiction medicine and I've always been using phones and pdas for my continuous education.
I've set up a text-only medline which can be browsed by html and wap enabled devices.
Here are the URLs:
for html:
http://www.debernardis.it/medasq.php
for wap:
http://wap.debernardis.it/
Both of them are nice and usable on my P800 as well as on other PDAs I've owned like the Nokia 9210, 9110, 9000, ipaq. The wap version was tested on some mobile phones of my friends without problems.
In both of them, there's also a page for reading the last clinical abstracts in several specialties ("Advancements in medicine"); in the html version, there's a page to get info on last papers in omega-3 research.
Please other internet addicted doctors let me know if they like them...

Great work debernardis, i am sure this would be useful for a lot of Doctors around who may want to search a specific abstract on the go, yet i think this database is limited in a way unlike the pubmed for instance, i don't know if the latter is accessible via WAP or not, anyway thanks for sharing this with us, and good luck.

I am in medical education here in New York, and sadly I have not found any device-specific software to use with my p800. I use an IPAQ 5455 for all of my ebook reading, and am working on some PDA specific CME/CPD activities. I also use the IPAQ for all of my PowerPoint presentations.
