I have most of the dermatology texts as PDF. I'm wondering if I could spend my educational funds towards an iPad Pro (12") instead of plunking down for Bolognia, etc. Anyone tried this? I'm intrigued by the Apple pencil that might make it easier to take notes/highlight. The larger screen than the iPad Mini and Air2 might also make it easier to read without zoom scrolling.

You'll have to speak with your program coordinator

My internship program allowed for the purchase of electronics with our education fund, my residency program did not.
