UHN Libraries provide educational opportunities and services to support your professional development, clinical practice and research:

Resources for Studying

Clinical, Mobile and Point of Care Tools

Clinical or "point of care" tools and resources aim to summarize information for major clinical topics. By summarizing medical knowledge, it is easier to apply within the context of providing patient care. The contents of point of care tools vary on how quickly new research is integrated, on how research is or is not appraised for inclusion, how contents are written and how evidence is cited. 

Mobile tools are resources available for use on your phone or tablet.

UHN Libraries provides access to a number of these tools: 

For clinical tools, view our Clinical Tools @ UHN guide 

For mobile resources, view our Mobile Resources

You have an Information Specialist to help you

I can help you: 

  • by doing literature searches for you - from finding a good textbook to systematic review searching, you don't have to do it yourself!
  • by providing individual or group training on database searching, EndNote, clinical information resources, etc. 
  • by connecting you with UHN library resources and services, or other libraries to which you may have access
