What's new on Clinical Key - new clinical overviews and books added



Clinical Overviews

Clinical Overviews are a quick and easy way to find evidence-based answers to your clinical questions.

Whenever you do a search in Clinical Key if there is a topic overview it will appear as the first result and also in a box on the right of the page.

Clinical Overviews are not book or journal content; they are concise, easily scannable summaries which include evidence-based information, current guidelines, and the latest advances on medical conditions. Clinical Overviews are tailored for clinicians.

The following topics have been added in  September:
  • Alopecia
  • Ehlers-Danlos syndromes
  • Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Renal cell carcinoma
  • Shoulder dystocia

Books
