An iPad should be mandatory in medical school?
First, I am not a Apple iPad fan boy (yet). That said, I am getting
infatuated with the device.

infatuated with the device.
At least two medical schools are requiring iPads for incoming students
(Stanford and UCI). To my knowledge and a Google search has revealed
that no pharmacy school requires an iPad (yet).
Now this interesting post by KevinMD, a noted physician blogger, with
this editorial with lots of comments. The comments are the best part, btw.

Mandatory iPad
While I believe the iPad, or any tablet computer for that matter, could be beneficial in medical or pharmacy school, I don't think it's ready to be mandatory. When a tablet can effectively replace pen, paper and computer then it can be mandatory. We're getting closer, but we're not quite there yet.
