NOTE: DynaMed is no longer a UT Southwestern Library resource. Go to the Library’s Clinical Evidence Resources for current EBM resources.

DynaMed provides evidence-based, clinically-oriented summaries of more than 3,000 topics, including 800+ pharmaceutical summaries based on AHFS Drug Information.
DynaMed monitors the content of 500+ journals and is updated daily based on newly-published evidence. The content is comparable to that of First Consult another point-of-care resource offered by the Library.
To help users judge the quality of available evidence, DynaMed provides three “Levels of Evidence” labels:

• Level 1: Likely reliable evidence
• Level 2: Mid-level evidence
• Level 3: Lacking direct evidence

For each medical condition, information is given on aspects such as:

• Causes & Risk Factors
• Complications & Associated Conditions
• History
• Physical
• Diagnosis
• Prognosis
• Treatment
• Prevention & Screening
• References (including reviews and guidelines)
• Patient Information
