After a lot of hard work from MDCalc’s development team, we released Version 3.0 of MDCalc.com in January and just this past weekend we launched a few updates with Version 3.1. The new site offers a lot of great new features and customization that make using MDCalc even easier. Let’s jump into it!
Home
You can view lists of calculators in a few different ways – Most Popular, Recents, Favorites, My Specialty, All, and Newest. You can login (or register!) to save Recents, Favorites and My Specialty. These automatically sync with the app!
Tip: Change your specialty by going to settings (top right corner of the page).
Search
You can use search to quickly find a tool or advanced search when you aren’t exactly sure which tool to use. Advanced Search allows you to narrow down our growing list of calculators to a few that are related to your needs. Try filtering by Disease, Specialty, Chief Complaint, Organ System, and Calc Function.
Tip: Need access to tools for more than one specialty? Use Advanced Search to view all the tools in a specialty. You can then add the ones that you use most to your favorites for quick access.
