      Resources for Medical Delivery App Developers

      By karfageniiy · Posted

      I'm glad you're interested in exploring medical mobile app development for delivery services. Here's a breakdown of the topics you're looking to learn more about: Technologies for Medical Delivery Apps: Various technologies can be employed in developing medical delivery apps, including cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter for efficient development across multiple platforms. Additionally, integrating real-time tracking using GPS and geolocation services can enhance delivery accuracy and efficiency. Regulatory Requirements: Developing medical delivery apps involves adhering to strict regulatory standards to ensure patient safety and data privacy. Regulatory bodies like the FDA in the United States and the EMA in Europe have specific guidelines for medical software development, including requirements for data security, HIPAA compliance, and proper documentation. Best Practices for Design and Development: Designing a user-friendly medical delivery app involves prioritizing simplicity, accessibility, and intuitive navigation. Implementing clear and concise UI/UX design, incorporating feedback mechanisms for users and healthcare professionals, and ensuring seamless integration with existing healthcare systems are key best practices in medical mobile app development. Challenges and Solutions: Developing medical delivery apps can pose challenges such as ensuring data security and privacy, managing complex logistics, and integrating with various healthcare systems. Solutions to these challenges include implementing robust encryption protocols for data transmission, leveraging advanced routing algorithms for efficient delivery management, and adopting interoperability standards for seamless integration with electronic health records (EHR) systems. By exploring these topics in medical mobile app development, you can gain valuable insights into building a successful and user-friendly medical delivery app that meets regulatory requirements and addresses the unique challenges of the healthcare industry.

      Admission médecine vétérinaire 2024

      360° career

      By radd · Posted

      Avant même de penser appliquer en pharmacie ou en médecine dentaire, tu vas devoir réussir tous les cours préalables même si tu vas avoir 21 ans, donc presque tous les cours de sciences nat. Honnêtement, rendu la, j'irais refaire le DEC au complet pour obtenir le diplôme de DEC. Si j'ai bien compris les pages d'admission UdeM demande soit un DEC (2 ans), soit un bac complet (3 ans) (pour ceux qui n'ont pas de DEC) autant pour pharmacie que pour médecine dentaire. Disons que tu décides de ne pas faire le DEC, tu devras quand même faire tous les cours préalables. Ensuite tu devras appliquer dans un programme universitaire AUTRE que pharmacie ou médecine dentaire parce que tu n'auras pas de DEC et pas encore de bac. Pour espérer pouvoir transférer après avoir terminé le bac, tu dois être dans un programme très bien coté (donc contingenté). Avec deux sessions complètes en échec, ça va être difficile de remonter ta cote r avec seulement les cours de sciences nat. En faisant le DEC au complet, tu t'ajoutes des crédits contributoires à ta cote r, donc si tu performes bien dans tous tes cours, t'as plus de chance d'être capable de mieux la remonter. Si tu es chanceux, tu auras assez remonter ta cote r pour être accepté du premier coup dans un bon programme tremplin (bien coté, contingenté). Sinon, tu devras passer par un autre programme, moins bien coté, et peut-être devoir transférer dans un programme bien coté (et contingenté) avant de pouvoir accéder à pharmacie ou à médecine dentaire. Mais garde en tête que sans DEC, ça prend un bac complété. La bonne nouvelle, c'est que plus t'as de cours réussis à l'université, moins ta cote r compte dans le calcul quand t'appliques dans un programme contingenté, jusqu'à s'effacer complètement. Pour ce qui est de UL, pour pharmacie, les candidats adultes (21 ans ou plus et non titulaires d'un DEC) ne sont PAS admissibles au programme. Donc si tu obtiens pas de DEC, tu te coupes de l'option d'appliquer à UL en pharmacie. Pour médecine dentaire, la page d'admission laisse croire que t'as pas besoin d'un DEC ni d'un bac si t'as réussi tous les cours préalables demandés. Mais on retourne à ce que j'ai dit pour UdeM, la seule différence c'est que t'auras pas besoin de compléter un bac avant d'être admis. J'ai pas regardé à McGill, mais je suis pas mal certaine que ça prend soit un DEC, soit un bac. Bonne chance!

      OT/PT Accepted / Waitlisted/ Rejected - 2024 Cycle

      By otot123 · Posted

      also keeping in mind that just because no one here is mentioning waitlist movement, doesn't mean that there is no movement happening. not a lot of people are aware of these forums, and this year in particular the ot/pt thread has had less activity. so hopefully there's still some movement going on

      UBC DMD Personal Statement

      By Dental-569 · Posted

      Hi everyone!  This year will be my first year applying to UBC DMD. I was wondering if UBC only looks at your personal statement, or does UBC also look at the ECs entries as well? Other universities explicitly state that they look at ECs as well, but on UBC’s website, it only says personal statement.. Thank you!
