Access App: Getting Started

About Access App

McGraw Hill Medical's new Access App is a personalized, interactive learning solution that makes studying easier and more efficient. Students can search for trusted, approved medical content in a variety of media to best fit their learning needs, including: books and chapters, videos, podcasts, infographics, images, tables, and figures.

New features and updates will continue to be added to the app, allowing you to align the best parts of the desktop experience through your Access profile while also adding and integrating features that users have been requesting, including cases and exam review questions and answers.

Visit our Access User Center here for more information about what content is available in the app and how to install it on your mobile device.

Note: You may need to log in to your institution's subscription to access the resources in this LibGuide.

Access Profile

To interact with all of the content and resources in the Access app, users must create a free profile on any Access Medical site to which their institution subscribes. With this profile, users can save content to favorites and organize their collections, manage notifications, track their history and resume activities, and more.

Download the PDF brochure below to learn more about creating an Access profile.

Setup and FAQ

HOW TO SET UP

Step 1: Access your institution's subscriptions

  • On your desktop or mobile browser, navigate to your institutional subscription to an Access Medical site, for example, AccessMedicine (see the AccessMedicine home page) McGraw Hill Medical for a complete list of Access Medical digital collections). Please note that your access may be provided through your institution’s library website, intranet, or VPN. You should see your institutional affiliation listed in the top right-hand corner login area on the applicable Access Medical sites. (“Access provided by [your institution name and/or logo]”).

Step 2: Login/Create your access profile

  • On any Access Medical site your institution subscribes to, log in to your Access profile in the top right corner of the site or create your profile. More information on creating an Access profile can be found here (or see the "Access Profile" box in this guide).

Step 3: Install the application

On your mobile device, navigate to the appropriate link to install the Access app on iOS y Android (or see the "Get the Access App" box in this guide for QR codes.) After installation, you will be prompted to log in with your Access profile credentials. Please note that the Access app is not yet optimized for viewing on an iPad or tablet (although it can be installed on this type of device and will display on the phone-sized screen).

NOTES:

You have 90 days of access before you need to re-authenticate from your institution via the library website, intranet, or VPN. You will receive an in-app reminder when you need to reconnect to your subscription.
If you downloaded the app first, you will be automatically validated once you are on campus (within your institution's designated IP range) and your phone connects to your institution's network.
The following Access Medical sites do not currently appear in the Access app:

  • AccessArtMed
  • Case Files Collection
  • Murtagh Collection
