Start your research and find articles with these key medical and health focused databases.
The public interface to MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, and other databases from the National Library of Medicine covering research, clinical practice, administration, policy issues, and health care services.
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. NOTE: EBSCO prohibits the use of non-EBSCO AI tools with their content.
EBSCO's (2024) License Agreement states, "Licensee and Authorized Users may not use artificial intelligence tools or machine learning technologies with any of the content included in the Databases or Services for any purpose."
