Certified Legal Nurse Consultants know the utility of searching MEDLINE and other wonderful National Library of Medicine (NLM) databases when doing research for your legal nurse consulting work product. In case you’ve gotten rusty, this week’s Tuesday Tech Tip is a quick review on searching MEDLINE through PubMed.
Seasoned CLNC® consultants all know that the fastest way to start their research is with PubMed. It’s easy to use and reaches out to resources beyond the NLM and it includes citations that haven’t yet been indexed by MEDLINE. It also includes OLDMEDLINE which, my CLNC® amigos, is not the LARGE PRINT VERSION but are citations from pre-1966. The best part is the Tech Tip Tom-approved PubMed tutorials to help you sharpen your research skills.
As Sherlock Holmes said, “Watson, the game is afoot!” so is the research, get to it!
Keep on Techin’,
