Start your research and find articles with these key medical and health focused databases.
Consumer oriented health information from the National Library of Medicine, including a Medical Dictionary, a Medical Encyclopedia, health news, tutorials and more.
A health-focused subset of EBSCO Host databases, including Health Source - Nursing/Academic Edition (EBSCO), Health Source - Consumer Edition (EBSCO), Alt HealthWatch (EBSCO), and SportDiscus (EBSCO). These databases can be searched simultaneously or independently.

Don't forget to actively seek out diversity of voices in your research. It does take extra effort to find research from a diversity of authors and regions of the world. Review our finding diverse research sources page for strategies to find these authors and sources.
Not sure where to start? Found an article, but not sure how to access the full text of it? Need a book that we don't have at Oxy? Reach out to a librarian, we're happy to help! We can help you track down that article, walk you through the research process, help you find and evaluate useful sources, and more!
