Try DynaMed for clinical reference support

Posted on by

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

A link to DynaMed is found on the Library Web site under “Highlights.” Please provide comments about DynaMed by completing our trial feedback form.
