Join the millions of medical professionals who use MDCalc daily to support clinical decision making at the bedside. Since 2005, MDCalc has been the leading medical reference for the most relevant, up-to-date and widely-used clinical calculators that support evidence-based patient care. Registration is free and takes less than 30 seconds for full, unlimited access.

MDCalc clinical decision support is created exclusively by board-certified physicians for use by physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and medical students. The simple yet sleek app provides access to 550+ easy-to-use clinical decision tools including risk scores, algorithms, equations, formulas, classifications, dosing calculators, and more.

With a new enhancement, clinicians can now earn AMA PRA Category 1TM CME credits by simply reading the clinical content for 150+ calculators. The app will keep track of the CME credits earned in a personal dashboard, where users can also redeem credits for certificates and access their receipts for easy documentation. In order to redeem CME credits, users will need to sign up for a paid CME plan.

Unique features, ideal for the busy practicing clinician:

• Works offline and in limited connection settings. (CME tracking requires a connection.)
• Fast and easy search and filter to discover new calculators.
• Customizable lists for quick access: favorites, recently used, your specialty.
• Auto-syncing between the website and app.
• Quick toggle between US and SI units.
• Error warnings and normal values to help avoid mistakes and improper inputs.

Our exclusive “MDCalc Method” for selecting tools - including in-depth appraisal and validation of evidence AND clinical relevance - results in only the highest-quality tools to help you make better decisions and be more efficient in your workflow. And our network of academic and practicing physician experts create easy-to-digest content to reinforce decision making and support training:

• Insights and advice from the EBM creators (e.g. Dr. Phil Wells’ on the Wells’ Criteria).
• Expert content by specialists on use cases, pearls & pitfalls, results interpretation and more.
• Synopses of the evidence from the original and validation research.

From iMedicalApps in 2016: “The evidence based medicine (EBM) components of the medical app are what really set MDCalc apart from its peers... The MDCalc app gives brief summaries of the critical studies concerning the medical calculator, links to the studies on PubMed as well as “pearls/pitfalls”, “next steps” and expert commentary from the authors of the calculators.” - iMedicalApps “MDCalc app, the best online medical calculator is now an app”

Pros and cons of MDCalc Medical Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

MDCalc Medical Calculator app good for

The must app that all clinician have at hand. All the information in the MDCalc web page has been integrated into one application. Very useful not only for generalists but also specialists.
Amazing app, great design and user-friendly. Need for more and more scores and algorythms, as well as more languages support. Go on this way!
Use of this app will soon become part of the minimum standard of care - so adopt early and spread the word.
It doesnt have every single thing but I think this is the most well done of all the med calculators on the iOS app store. They are always taking suggestions on new calculators to add and update the app frequently. You can now even search for calculators directly from Spotlight and launch straight into it which is really handy and saves time.
There are many applications that have similar formulas but this goes beyond that to give you the science and evidence behind the formulas.
MDCalc is definitely a must-have. The app interface is so easy to use. You can save your most used calcs for even quicker access.

Some bad moments

MDCalc is very well designed for medical and non-medical professionals. Calcs load quickly after inputs are assigned with rapid points results (i.e. virtually no lag time). The content creator background for each calculator is really helpful. Happy to see MDCalc launch their app.
MDCalc has an intuitive interface, is well-organized, and provides insightful context for applying scores clinically. Im so happy this app arrived!
Finally, the preeminent med criteria calc site has made its way on to the App Store! I cant tell you how long Ive waited for this day; I use the web version almost every shift, and the app version definitely lives up to its reputation. Get it, use it, love it!
Far and away the most user friendly medical calculator I’ve ever used. Clearly a lot of time and attention was paid to making this work well on an iPhone, which makes it that much easier to take advantage of on shift. As a previous reviewers have noted, the reference content really makes this app stand apart.
Must download app. I have been using MD calc website for years and eagerly awaiting the app. MD Calc has all the EBM rules and calculations you can want. Its well laid out. Please share with your coworkers. Its absolutely essential to your clinical practice.
Beautiful layout and great content. Love the interviews with decision rule researchers. Wish I had it earlier on in residency/med school!
