The American Medical Association is calling on doctors and med students to submit ideas for mobile medical apps. Winners may even have their ideas made into actual apps with help from the AMA. It looks like the association is getting into the app business with the release of their new CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) quick reference app for iOS devices.
Open to all U.S. physicians, residents and medical students, the 2011 AMA App Challenge calls on those on the front lines of medicine to submit their unique app idea for a chance to have the AMA bring it to life. Participants can submit their app ideas easily through an online form beginning today. Submissions will be accepted through June 30th, 2011. Two winners will be selected, one from the resident/fellow or medical student category and one from the physician category. The winners will each receive $2,500 in cash and prizes, plus a trip for two to New Orleans for the grand unveiling of their winning idea at the AMA’s meeting in November.
