1) Learn to perform decision support on a mobile device at the point-of-care to answer questions that arise during clinical work and thus tie learning to practice and receive point-of care CME for it. 2) Learn to read Ebooks and educational apps on a mobile device. 3) Learn to stay up-to-date with radiology journals and society news on a mobile device. 4) Learn to manage a library of journal articles on a mobile device. 5) Learn to view podcasts and vodcasts on a mobile device. 6) Learn to maintain a learning portfolio / teaching file on a mobile device.

Acquiring and maintaining competency in the practice of radiology requires a program of continuous learning. This continuous learning would be most effectively performed during clinical work, when it has the greatest potential for modifying physicians' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors as well as positively affecting patients' care, outcomes, and lives. The advent of mobile computing, and the rich assortment of authoritative radiology resources it allows easy access to, now allows this dream to become reality. This course will be a hands-on, state-of-the-art review that will teach the radiologist how to use mobile computing to perform continuous learning while you work. The Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone platforms will be covered. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own mobile phone or tablet to the course and will be asked before the course to download into their mobile device several free apps that will be demonstrated, so they can follow along during the session. These free apps are listed on the course handout at http://www.radiologyebooks.com/rsna.html
