Access personalizes and tailors your medical education experience, giving you the healthcare content you need, on the go, even when you’re offline.

Ratings and reviews

The app is extremely difficult to use for studying. The book (DiPiro's) is 6000 pages long and lacks a functional Table of Contents or a reliable search feature. It is frustrating for students who need to access specific chapters like Infectious Diseases quickly. Please improve the navigation and make it PDF-friendly."

This app is useless. You can't "access" anything. I try to open a book, and it only gives error messages. I cleared the cache, closed and restarted the app, then finally uninstalled and reinstalled it, but still get the same error message. Time to uninstall for good.

The app doesn't let me sign in with the credentials I've used to create an account. Doesn't send me an email allowing me to change my password either. Hope it gets resolved soon as I find the website useful
