Medical References
Last modified by John Faughnan on 2012 May 11 09:44
References to answer QM related questions. The cost of medical references seems to be rising.
Pharmacology
- ePocrates for iOS: free for clinicians. Topical but limited therapeutic information, almost no pharmacology.
- MPR: Concise prescription and OTC drug information. Ad supported. I'm fond of this one for quick lookups. (iOS app as well). The form of the search URL works well with Chrome (http://www.empr.com/search/%s/type-Drug)
Online Reference: General IM
- Diseases & Conditions - eMedicine (MedScape) Reference
- THE MERCK MANUALS: sometimes dated, not highest quality - but free
- Up To Date: industry leader for online references. Currently we don't have a license
Infectious Disease
- Sanford antimicrobial therapy (self-published, I think it's only available as a booklet or an App). I have the iOS version ($30)
Oncology
UMN references (requires UMN login)
- STAT!Ref: AHFS DRUG INFORMATION® (2012). A great reference, but, even by the standards of online textbooks, the STAT!Ref UI is unusually bad
- MICROMEDEX® 2.0: rivals AHFS
- First Consult/MD Consult: Includes Saunders, Elsevier, Mosby.
- MD Consult: Johns Hopkins: The Harriet Lane Handbook
- MD Consult: Kumar: Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, Professional Edition
- MD Consult: McPherson: Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods
- MD Consult: Goldman: Goldman's Cecil Medicine
- MD Consult: Bope and Kellerman: Conn's Current Therapy 2012
- MD Consult: Habif: Clinical Dermatology
- Rheumatology Primer: It's a set of chapter PDFs. The UI is awful, but they can be saved locally.
- E-Books in the Health Sciences: Includes Cecil's, Harrisons. Some are older (Washington Manual 2007) reflecting turmoil in this industry
- AccessMedicine: similar to above, but Goodman and Gilman, Current Medical Dx and Treatment (2012)
- Google Scholar with integrated full text link (umn)
- PubMed with integrated full text link (umn)
- OVID MEDLINE; Full text, through UMN
