REDESIGN OF ACCESSEMERGENCY MEDICINE HIGHLIGHTS MEDIA, EDUCATIONAL FEATURES, AND TOOLS
We’ve given AccessEmergency Medicine a facelift. The redesign of AccessEmergency Medicine brings to the forefront many of the clinical and educational tools available on the site, while streamlining the ability of users to locate multimedia.
The newly redesigned homepage reflects the diversity of AccessEmergency Medicine's offerings to users, providing individuals with a plethora of inroads to cutting-edge content, media, and interactive features, including the newly added Custom Curriculum.
NEW ACCESSEMERGENCY MEDICINE CUSTOM CURRICULUM
Manage your residents’ online educational needs. With the addition of McGraw-Hill's acclaimed curriculum support tool, program directors will now be able to assign readings, video, review questions and other activities to their medical residents, as well as manage and oversee the completion of those activities. The Custom Curriculum is the perfect tool for program directors interested in expanding beyond the classroom and into the online environment.
