Resources

An important objective of this exercise is to find reliable information that is pertinent to your needs. You could start with standard textbooks, such as Harrison’s Textbook of Medicine, or Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology. An excellent array of textbooks is available to you through the UF library. A disadvantage of relying solely on this approach, however, is that textbooks are rarely current. After gathering general information, you might wish to consult reliable information on the world-wide web. There are several sites which exist for the purpose of teaching. For example, see

Another great place to start, however, is the national repository of all peer-reviewed medical literature (since 1966),
PubMed. This site is accessed through the National Library of Medicine, and can be found at the following site:

In PubMed, you will be able to find both primary literature and reviews which will be useful.
