About the Scholarships
Dr. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli and Epocrates are pleased to provide annual Ali Abdulla Al-Ubaydli scholarships for mobile medical computing. Every year, five $1000 Ali Abdulla Al-Ubaydli™ Scholarships for Mobile Medical Computing™ are awarded to select and train the next generation of mobile medical computing researchers.
The challenge
At the end of 2007 there are close to 1000 citations in PubMed™ that dealt with handheld computers. Many lessons have accumulated in the clinical literature but we need to understand and assimilate these lessons.
The challenge is to provide these lessons as peer-reviewed and unbiased summaries based on scientific fact, not marketing hype.
The Scholarships
Five exceptional scholars from around the world will be selected each year to review selected literature and make summary reports that will be published in the Mobile Medical Computing Reviews journal. The Scholarship winners will be mentored and trained by Dr. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, author of four books, including “Handheld Computers for Doctors”.
The results
Once complete, the reviews will be published and freely available through the website of the new journal Mobile Medical Computing Reviews. Each scholar will be able to quote their own reviews in their list of publications.
