Finding Professional Medical Articles: Home

This guide provides basic information about finding professional medical articles for students in HED 14020 (Medical Terminology) and HED 11590 (Community Health). 

Please use the tabs across the top of this page to navigate through the guide. 

Instructors expect you to use professional and/ or scholarly articles for many assignments.  Consumer health magazines and websites will not provide the expert, professional, research-based information they require. 

Even within the professional and scholarly literature, different kinds of articles are written for different purposes and audiences.  Contents imay include news, brief research reports, editorials, letters, commentaries, and book reviews in addition to longer research studies. 

Focus on selecting the articles that best meet your information needs and satisfy the requirements of your assignment.
