Each of these information tools contains both drug and disease information. Please use these tools in clinical care and let us know how well they work for you. We are particularly interested in hearing your feedback on:
- Content. Can you find the information that you need? Does the resource cover the topics that you need?
- Evidence. Can you determine the strength or level of evidence? Can you locate citations/links to the original research or references?
- Interface. Is the resource easy to navigate? Does the search work well for your topics? Can you navigate through the product easily?
Both resources are available from on-campus (including GW Hospital) and off-campus locations. From off-campus locations, you can login using either VPN/GWireless or ALADIN; for more information please consult Himmelfarb Library's off-campus access instructions.
Please contact Laura Abate at mlblea@gwumc.edu or 202-994-8570 with questions and feedback.
