NYU Langone Medical Center, one of the nation's premier academic medical centers, announced today the magazine of NYU School of Medicine, NYU Physician, is now available as a free iPad app in the iTunes App Store.

NYU Physician, published three times a year, provides news and insights about important advances in biomedical research and innovations in health care.

"We are thrilled to now be able to share the discoveries of our scientists and our cutting-edge clinical care with anyone who has an iPad," said Deborah Loeb Bohren, vice president, office of communications and public affairs. "We believe that consumers, physicians and scientists alike will enjoy reading NYU Physician and learning about the latest issues in health care and biomedical research."
