Try Pediatrics on Hand, run by Children's National Medical Center of Washington, DC, a nonprofit organization (Actually this is not a correct statement as this site is entirely independent, correction requested with Contemporary Peds) . The Web site provides an advertising-free source of drug data, technology advice, and other useful information at www.pediatricsonhand.com."

"Heading into your Peds rotation? Check out the Pediatrics on Hand web site to get the latest in PDA software for pediatrics. The site has several useful sections, such as PDA news, New User Guide, and Program Reviews. However the Top 5 Picks section and the Peds Library section are both outstanding. The Top 5 Picks has recommendations for different types of PDA software: general, medical, and pediatric. For example, the 2002 Childhood Immunization schedule is one of the top 5 pediatric programs, and its free! The Peds Library has links to a variety of resources; everything form drug dosing to growth charts."
