New Journals, Multimedia, and Technology Tools Supporting Teaching, Learning, and Practice At Wolters Kluwer, we’re constantly coming up with new ways to help the medical and health science communities acquire new knowledge and skills, provide effective clinical training, improve patient care, and reach health outcome targets. Each new Ovid resource is a helpful information companion throughout the education-to-practice lifecycle.

Mobile optimized for anytime/anywhere viewing, it focuses on safety and accuracy and includes “pearls and pitfalls”, equipment lists, and more. More about Lippincott Medical Procedures here.
