Medscape

As an ER doc, I used to rely on MedScape for quick access to medication information, especially in the setting of critical illness and overdose. Having fast access to the dosing for uncommon drugs was a real safety boon, and the concise pharmacology information has been critically important more times than I can count. HOWEVER, after this AI update (which follows from the clunky expanded clinical content), the app is borderline useless. Every time I open the app, it has to reload itself as I sit there waiting and staring at the logo only to then be dumped into the AI-centric landing page. This is no longer a reference app. Instead, the MedScape App has become another piece AI-"assisted" garbage that wants to have a conversation and summarize information THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN THE ADJACENT TAB instead of allowing me to simply search for the drug and find the information that I need NOW! MedScape, you get one star for content and one star for what the App used to be, but you can't keep going in this direction. In an attempt to jump on to the AI bandwagon, your utility has been compromised. Kindly hang your head in shame.

The new interface does not allow viewing of the topics that we click upon in the e mail. Instead ,a fixed rhetoric page appears that does not contain the article I have clicked to read. The older version was far more effective in reading about what I want to read

Always issues with CME and education. The education programs don’t load most of the time. A lot of expired CME on there and it’s not stated clearly that it’s expired.
