Digital Resource: UpToDate
- UpToDate This link opens in a new window

Simply type in your diagnosis! Please note that UptoDate is a link-heavy resource, so you may need to toggle between multiple windows as you review labs, treatment, etc. for your diagnosis.
Database: PubMed
- PubMed This link opens in a new window
Learn about mobile access | PubMed provides free access to MEDLINE®, the NLM® database of indexed citations and abstracts to medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, health care, and preclinical sciences journals. A DMU Library icon will display in if you use this customized URL to PubMed. Click on the purple DMU Library icon to connect to article pdf's when the Library has a subscription, or to have the option to order the article through Interlibrary loan.
PubMed has tons of content, some of which will not be useful to you for the SKIPPS exercise (results of clinical trials, for example). To make sure you find articles that cover labs and treatment, limit your results to "review" (not to be confused with "systematic review"):
You may also consider limiting your results to recent years since you'll want the most up-to-date information on your diagnosis.
