- There are several places that physicians (and others) can search for medical information
on the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database. You can go directly to the NLM;
this used to require that you set up an account and pay for your
searches; but as of late July 1997, it is free and you don't need an account or password.
And, the search engine works better than any of the free ones, and you can import the
results easily into EndNote+ using the MEDLINGM filter. Recommended.
National Library of Medicine Internet Grateful Med site-
- There are several other sites that offer MEDLINE access, presumably paid for by
advertising and other medical company contributions. Some sites offer these only to
physicians, others only to those in the U.S. -- but try and see if you can get in anyway,
even if you're not a U.S. physician. These sites offer other services, sometimes including
free email access for physicians, and other databases:
Avicenna Medical Web Site, with free Medline access
Physicians Online (POL) -- free Medline access
HealthGate -- free Medline access
Healthy.Net
Medline Access
MedScape: free Medline and other resources-

- Here are some other good medical sites that don't offer Medline access, but have lots of
other good information:

Project, being done by the Center for Emergency Medicine -- where you can download drafts
of the new EMT-P Curriculum

emergency medicine as practiced by mountain and cave rescue teams ("wilderness
EMS").
Global Emergency Medicine Archives -- the
premier emergency medicine site; has my Hypertext Medical Notebook posted there for
downloading

registration for the ACEP Emergency Department Informatics Symposium in December 1996 in
Philadelphia)

Systems, and LOTS of links (includes my information on how to choose an ED tracking
system)
