What are the options?

Do you watch medical shows and then think you have whatever the disease of the week is? Do you wish you could find accurate information about the disease and its treatment?

We're delighted that our Allied Health students have access to a database of information from Thomson/ Micromedex® Healthcare Series that covers medicines, diseases and notes sources for studies.

Hospitals and doctors offices subscribe to this database.

Fortunately ,Thomson feels it is of such value for students and faculty to have access, that they allow our students to use the database via an access code. This saves NMTC having to pay the subscription fee. Thank you!

This is the Thomson / Micromedex® Healthcare Series description of their service:

"With so many possible scenarios – it's next to impossible to predict what kind of clinical information will be needed at any moment of any day.

That's why the Micromedex® Healthcare Series is unsurpassed in terms of scope and reliability. Clinicians can quickly pinpoint their answers.

This actionable information spans drugs, diseases, acute care, toxicology, alternative medicines, as well as a comprehensive tool to educate patients.

Having all of this in a clutter-free, easy-to-navigate interface saves clinicians time and promotes best practices. "

It really is clutter free and easy to navigate.

NMTC students are able to utilize multiple on-line resources available to the medical community with Thomson and the databases in GALILEO like ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source.

We do offer an education that prepares graduates to go to work!
