Beyond Medline, cont…
Databases are the best sources for scholarly resources (PubMed, Medline OVID, PsycInfo, Web of Science, etc…)
MedlinePlus is a good consumer health resource from the patient’s perspective
Google Scholar can be a useful tool as it searches many of these databases and can be customized for your needs
18
“Point-of-Care” Databases
• DynaMed and Micromedex (on ArizonaMed)
• UpToDate, MDConsult, and Stat!Ref (are all available from the Quick Links at the AHSL site)
• All resources updated often
• Evidence-based and unbiased information
• Some have patient information handouts
• Each of these has additional unique tools

Evidence Based Medicine
Great Tool: AHSL-Developed EBM Search Engine
e.g. Cochrane Systematic Reviews
e.g. PubMed Clinical Studies
e.g. Textbooks
e.g. UpTo Date
