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

Let us know what you think of the LMS, the clinical program of instruction, etc. Your feedback is always welcome!
McGraw Hill, publishers of quality medical information resources, have added a new feature to their AccessMedicine product. Specifically designed for students on their clerkship rotations, the database has now opened up for all subscribers an internal medicine model curriculum along the lines of what was formerly made available to Instructors as part of the Custom Curriculum platform.
This new 'Clerkship Topics' section is found under the 'Study Tools' tab. Each main subject area contains numerous modules with activities organized under key topics of importance to that field.
This study tool helps focus the student's attention on the key aspects of each topic and provides targeted readings, cases and other activities to aid the learning process and mastery of the information.
The link for AccessMedicine is provided in the left-side bar of the Library Home Page as well as the right-side bar of this Library Blog. Logins for UMHS students were emailed to each of you during your first semester. If you need further assistance with your login and/or navigating this valuable resource, please contact us at the UMHS Anne Ross Library. I also encourage you, while you are in the site, to take some time and check out further some of the other cool resources available to you in the AccessMedicine database.
...facilitating communication between the Library and the Faculty, students, staff and community partners of the University of Medicine & Health Sciences (UMHS).
