Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the products and services that Epocrates offers.

Tip 1 – Set Your Default Units In MedMath

When using MedMath clinical calculators (available within all Epocrates mobile references), do you usually enter your values in the same unit systems, e.g. pounds rather than kilos? If so, you can save time by choosing your default units. After you have selected your default units, your preferred units will always display automatically (you still have the option to change them).

How?

Palm Users:

• Within your Epocrates application, tap on the ‘black bag’ tab and then on the MedMath icon .
• Tap on the “MedMath” tab on the top left of the screen.
• Select “Options” and then “Preferences”.
• To select your default units, tap on the ‘down arrow’ symbol next to “Unit System”, “Height” and “Weight” and select your preferred units.
• Tap on “OK”.

Pocket PC users:

• Within your Epocrates application, tap on the ‘black bag’ tab and then on the MedMath icon .
• Tap on ”Tools” on your navigation bar and then on “Preferences”.
• Tap on your preferred Unit System, Weight and Height units.
• Tap on “OK”.

Tip 2 – Set Left Side Scrolling

If you are left-handed and accessing Epocrates information on a mobile device, this feature is a must! By selecting left side scrolling, your scrolling bar will move to the left-hand-side of the screen throughout the entire Epocrates application.

How?

Palm Users:

• Within any tab in the Epocrates application, tap on the ‘e’ symbol on the top left of the screen.
• Tap on “Options” and then “Preferences”.
• Tap on the box next to “Left Side Scrolling” and then tap on “OK”.

Pocket PC Users:

• Within any tab in the Epocrates application, tap on ”Tools” on your navigation bar and then on “Preferences”.
• Tap on the box next to “Left Side Scrolling” and then tap on “OK”.
