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.

They can be used to learn and review diseases, disorders, and procedures. Faculty may supplement course materials with the capsules.

For librarians, this means being able to direct students to a resource that, while not always perfectly curated, provides a starting point for literature searches. Grappling with the resource’s limitations allows … read more
Each month, we take a moment to highlight the invaluable contributions of one of the hundreds of librarians who enrich Doody’s editorial content. 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.
