PubMed is a free resource that provides access to MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine’s database of citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, health care systems, and pre-clinical sciences. If you’re new to PubMed or just want a refresher, this online class is designed for you.
The class is made up of 10 units that each include very short videos, exercises and quizzes. Students must complete the activities before moving on to the next unit. The class gives you the chance to explore PubMed at your own pace with guided tours and exercises. Instructor feedback is available. The class is offered in Moodle, the NNLM’s course management system.
