Access App

The new Access App from McGraw Hill Medical is a personalized interactive learning solution that makes studying easier and more efficient. Learners can search vetted and trusted medical content across a variety of mediums that best fit their learning needs, including: books and chapters, videos, podcasts, infographics, images, tables, and figures.  Before you can use the app, you will need to access this resource through a link on the library's website, create a personal account, then use that account information to login using the app on your device.  Access on the app is valid for 90 days after which time you will need to reconnect to our institution's subscription.

To engage with AccessMedicine and its content and resources, users need to create a free Access profile (upper-right sign in dropdown menu) in AccessMedicine. Users are encouraged to login each time they use the site.
