The UMHS LMS Roll Out Extends to Clinical Students
A big
WELCOME goes out to all
UMHS Clinical Students as they all now join the rest of our UMHS students in utilizing the new UMHS Learning Management System (LMS).
The standardized
UMHS Clinical Sciences Curriculum, developed by the UMHS Clinical Chiefs for the Six Core Clinical Clerkships, is now available to the clinical science students via the
UMHS LMS platform. While these students rotate through their core clerkships in any of the many
UMHS affiliated American hospitals, they will always have ready access to the key information they need to guide them in their learning.
The
UMHS Clinical Chiefs have prepared the learning modules to cover all the key topics the students will need to know. The topical modules contain a variety of learning activities; from Lecture PowerPoint Presentations (some with voice-over), to videos, to practice quizzes, to interactive case studies. Most of the modules also contain targeted readings, embedded right in the LMS. These are selected from the valuable
AccessMedicine database or one of the
EBSCO databases of medical journals and ebooks, all of which our faculty and students enjoy full subscription access too.
Thanks goes out to the
UMHS Clinical Sciences Faculty:
George Shade MD – Dean of Clinical Sciences; Clinical Chief Obstetrics/ Gynecology
Robert Levine MD – Clinical Chief for Family Medicine
Steven Caplan MD PA – Clinical Chief for Pediatrics
Charles Herrick MD – Clinical Chief for Psychiatry
Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS – Clinical Chief for Surgery
Jo An Mitchell MD – Clinical Chief for Internal Medicine

EBSCO Discovery Search
The Anne Ross Library is pleased to announce a trial of the new discovery tool available from EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS).
Discovery Search provides fast, simple access to all of the library’s electronic resources through a single search. Simultaneously search across content in the subscription journal databases, ebook collections, DynaMed Plus clinical point-of-care database, as well as further links to AccessMedicine, YouTube content, etc.
In the UMHS LMS professors can embed an EDS search box on course pages simply by adding that activity, making it easier to assign readings and conduct research.
To access Discovery Search just login from the Library Home page using the generic EBSCO login for UMHS OR your personal MyEBSCO login and select it from the list of options.
