Clinical Capsules is the latest addition to the MedOne Education platform from Thieme. MedOne Education is a collection of textbooks and multimedia aimed at students, faculty, and residents in the medical and health science fields. An earlier review of MedOne Education published in DCDM can be found here.
The capsules are a noteworthy new feature that offers concise and high-yield integrated learning modules. While the main purpose of the capsules is to prepare students for the USMLE exams, the content is broad enough that PAs and Nurse Practitioners will find it useful also.

Grappling with the resource’s limitations allows … read more

Whether serving as a Board member, a DCT Librarian Selector, or a reviewer, we couldn’t fulfill our mission without the steadfast support of health sciences librarians from around the globe.
In honor of National Medical Librarians Month, we want to take a step back from our usual spotlight to celebrate the myriad ways librarians elevate our work at Doody’s.
