We would like to suggest that you try DynaMed in its place. DynaMed offers evidence-based information in bulleted format on a wide range of diseases and conditions, with links to references embedded within the description.

If you are a fan of the calculators found in Essential Evidence Plus, we suggest that you look at the calculators tab on Hardin’s Evidence Based Practice guide. We will continue to add calculators to the guide and appreciate suggestions.

If you have suggestions or comments, please contact Janna Lawrence, Hardin Library Assistant Director, at janna-lawrence@uiowa.edu
