  1. Hello, I find this website to have useful stuff. Medical workers in my setting would benefit from this. One thing that makes me think that it is no that accessible in my setting is INTERNET ACCESS. Had it been of an OFFLINE ACCESS (like a CD or a downloadable software), it would indeed beneit medical personel in my setting.

    • Thank you so much for your suggestion, Dr. Dominic! Where I currently work we also face difficulties with ensuring regular internet access, and I agree that an offline version of the page would be incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, due to copyright issues, our web site only links to other web pages which themselves actually host the charts, graphs, and other resources. In order to create an offline version of WhiteCoatPocket I would have to myself hold the copyright to these materials, which I do not have. However, if you are looking for a web site with an offline version to use in a clinical setting where no regular internet access is available I would recommend looking into the free UpToDate International Grant Subscription Program, which you can find here: http://www.ghdonline.org/uptodategrant/ .
