For 2017, the Dalhousie Libraries has upgraded from DynaMed to the new, enhanced DynaMed Plus. DynaMed Plus is available on and off-campus now.
DynaMed Plus tools present critically appraised evidence from more than 500 medical journals in a quick, easy-to-read format designed for use at the point of care. This includes: synthesized GRADE recommendations, key points on background, evaluation, and management of a condition, and concise, evidence-based treatment suggestions.
