McGraw
Hill announced the latest feature on Harrison's
Online--the Harrison's
Visual Case Challenge.
This fun, educational feature allows
users to test their diagnostic skills in assessing conditions where a visual
element is key to the correct diagnosis, whether an EKG, a CT scan, a plain
film X-ray, a skin lesion, or a pathology slide. Many conditions in medicine
appear to be have similar features, so the ability to spot key differences in
visual clues is an essential part of clinical reasoning.
This new Visual Case Challenge
presents two conditions in each patient case; you can choose the correct diagnosis
just based on the visual clue, or request further patient data before making
the diagnosis. They have also included Clinical Pearls in each case for a
complete learning experience.
The Harrison's Visual Cases modules are
available under the Cases tab of AccessMedicine.
For further instructions on AccessMedicine,
how to login, reactivate, and navigate the database, or any of the resources
provided UMHS Students and Faculty, please check out the ‘Library Services’
section of the UMHS LMS (under 'Student Services').

Access Medicine has added some new functionality to it's Q&A section. As you know, your MyAccess profile keeps track of your practice quiz
performances. However, it only lists how many questions you took, the
score, and the date/time you took that quiz. This makes it difficult to
quickly identify what that quiz may have been related to.
Students now have
the ability to rename their quizzes so they can easily identify that quiz for
future reference. To help demonstrate this new functionality, Access Medicine has
recorded this brief tutorial:
Renaming Quiz Enhancement. This new
functionality should be particularly helpful to those students using the
Q&A and the Board Review Q&A.
Please contact Ann Celestine at the Library if you need assistance with your personal MyAccess login to Access Medicine, or otherwise navigating the database.
