Library Services for Residents and Fellows

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

Printing and photocopying are 15 cents a page at each of our library branches.
Most residents are entitled to receive 100 free pages of photocopying or printing per month during their rotation at UHN.
Come to the medical libraries at Toronto General or Toronto Western to have your printing account set up with your free copies.
Fellows, and anyone else with a UHN t-id can come in to the Toronto General or Toronto Western libraries, and set up and add money to their printing account to their UHN id badge - just ask at the front desk when you come in!
