Information Resources for Medical Students

This guide is designed to be a central resource to help you find the materials you need throughout your time as a medical student.  It includes resources available through the Health Science Center Libraries and other reputable resources available online.

The tabs above provide links to different types of resources available to help you fill your information needs. Feel free to contact us if you need any other help (see the box to the right for our contact information). Thanks for visiting!  

Access to electronic resources should be seamless from any UF networked computer.  For off-campus access:

• Use VPN software  or EZProxy.
• Eligibility: UF students/faculty/staff members with valid UF ID/Gator1 Card

Some databases, journals, and resources are public access and some are UF-subscribed.  

• When you see  in your search results, click for access to full-text material.
• If you can't access full-text, do not assume that we don't have it. Check the Library Catalog.
• If UF does not have the article you need, request a free copy via InterlibraryLoan (ILL). ILL usually take 3 days and delivers as Web PDFs. Books and other items can also be obtained via ILL, although more slowly.

Search the library catalog to find books, journals, audiovisual materials, government publications, and many other kinds of resources available across UF's libraries.
