Medical mobile applications are increasing, accessible and easy leading to a considerable increase use by physicians.
To assess the contribution of mobile applications to medical learning and practice among medical residents.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out during May and June 2021, via an anonymous questionnaire, published online focusing on the contribution of medical applications in the learning and the daily life of medical interns.
We collected 134 responses completed by interns in all specialties. The mean age was 28 ± 2.04 years with a predominance of women (gender ratio = 0.39). The average number of years of experience was 4.52 ± 2.5 semesters. All interns had smartphones and 56.7%. Only 3% had no applications on their smartphones and 62.7% had between two and four applications. The most used applications were communication and scoring applications. several advantages of these applications were noted, mainly assistance in therapeutic management (85.1%), diagnosis (76.9%) and communication (69.4%). However, limitations were mainly the lack of 3G / 4G coverage. For scientific research, the most used search engine were Google, Google Scholar and Pub Med. One hundred and six residents (79.1%) were satisfied with the contribution of applications to learning and 61 wished to have training in the specific use of the smartphone.
Communication, diagnostic or management help mobile applications have become unavailable in daily practice but also in learning. However, this new mode of instruction must be associated to the classical education.
医疗移动应用程序不断增加，易于获取，这导致医生的使用量大幅增加。
评估移动应用程序对住院医师医学学习和实践的贡献。
这是一项描述性的横断面研究，于 2021 年 5 月至 6 月期间通过在线匿名问卷进行，重点关注医疗应用程序在医学实习生学习和日常生活中的作用。
我们共收集了来自所有专业的 134 名住院医师的回复。平均年龄为 28 ± 2.04 岁，女性居多（性别比=0.39）。平均工作经验年限为 4.52 ± 2.5 个学期。所有住院医师都有智能手机，其中 56.7%的人有两到四个应用程序。最常用的应用程序是通讯和评分应用程序。这些应用程序有几个优点，主要是在治疗管理（85.1%）、诊断（76.9%）和通讯（69.4%）方面提供了帮助。然而，主要的限制是缺乏 3G/4G 覆盖。在科学研究方面，最常使用的搜索引擎是 Google、Google Scholar 和 Pub Med。106 名住院医师（79.1%）对应用程序在学习中的作用表示满意，61 人希望接受有关智能手机特定用途的培训。
通讯、诊断或管理辅助应用程序在日常实践中不可或缺，在学习中也是如此。然而，这种新的教学模式必须与传统教育相结合。
