For my EM rotation, I downloaded an app that walked you through, for any common ED chief complaint, the questions you should ask the patient, the ROS, PE findings to look for, a ddx, and labs/imaging to order.

Is there any psych app that's geared toward this that I can download on my phone? Or should I be set with just up-to-date and medscape?
 
I recently found out there’s a Stahl’s prescriber guide app. I’ve found it pretty useful. I’m on the free month trial right now but as long as the price isn’t exorbitant, I’ll probably go ahead with buying a subscription to it after the month is over.

Oops, forgot to say the name. It’s NEI Prescribe in the App Store.

What was the name of the EM app?
 
There are free copies of Stahl's and the DSM-V floating around the internet. I use both of them daily and have done so since intern year. They are much easier to use than the physical copies because you can search for words, bookmark diagnoses/meds, etc.
 
I have never heard of an app similar to the ER one you referred to. I found the following useful:

-The DSM app (quite helpful when you want to jog memory on specific criteria for less common diagnoses),
-Stahl Psychopharm in Ebook format (purchased on Google's ebook platform),
-LactMed (free, provides details about drug safety for lactating women),
-Doximity Dialer,
-Mobile Physician's Drug Reference (PDR) is not bad,
-OneNote or Google Drive for notetaking from didactics (keep it all organized in the cloud; do not put protected health information onto these services unless you sign a business associate's agreement in compliance with HIPAA such as via G Suites).
 
I'm working on a Psych clinician flashcard and Qbank Android app that focuses on clinically applicable psychopharmacology, psychopathology, DSM criteria, neurology, and basic medicine psychiatrists should know. I still have some months to go before the prototype is ready, but if anyone has an Android phone and wants to be a tester, message me. The more the merrier. The goal is for it to be a free, open-source tool for psychiatry education.
