Information about the Recent Problem with Off-campus Access to USMLEasy

Recently, USMLEasy has changed the URL without notifying the library. For this reason, there has been a problem for our off-campus access to USMLEasy. We have made the change for our proxy system. So you can remotely access USMLeasy.

Please use this URL for off-campus access to USMLEasy:
http://ezproxy.fiu.edu/login?url=http://www.usmle-easy.com

We are making the USMLEasy URL change on the medical library website, but it may take a few days. So the above URL should enable you to remotely access it in the meantime.

Thank you for your understanding!

Scanner available right outside of the Medical Library near the elevator

A very fast document and book scanner is available at the  GL building 3rd floor. Exit the Medical Library and, it is on the right on your way towards the elevator.

You can either e-mail your scanned file or save it into your USB drive. There are two more scanners at the Green Library building: one at ERC GL 249 and the other at on the GL 5th floor next to the Sound and Image desk.

HWCOM Faculty Publication List in Refworks now available!

Askresident.com - ask questions to hospital residents

AskResident is an online community where medical students can directly ask questions to hospital residents, fellows AND to each other.  Choosing a residency is a daunting task so who better to ask then those who are already working at your desired place.  Here you can ask questions about working conditions, salaries, or even questions about living in that particular city.

AskResident allows you to ask ANY question and build a relationship with residents at your favorite hospital. http://askresident.com/
