The Access Medical collection features a wealth of content across all medical fields and specialties and offers a variety of content for all user types, from students in the basic sciences and clinical rotations, to faculty, practicing providers, residents, and other healthcare professionals. The resources outlined in this page of the Access Medical Onboarding LibGuide are not comprehensive of all the content available to users; however, these are specific resources to call out for faculty, providers, and students which address their common questions and interests in the platform functionalities.
To learn more about each of the Access Medical sites and the content, as well as more information on the teaching, learning and clinical materials available to users, please see the dropdown menu above under "Access Medical" >> "Access Medical LibGuides."
Linking to Content
In the Access Medical sites, faculty and residents (among other users) can link to content using durable URLs. On most content items in the Access Medical sites, including titles, chapters, chapter sections, cases, multimedia, and review Q&A, faculty can copy the browser URL (which is the durable URL or permanent link) and paste the link in their course materials or an LMS course shell in Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, or other LMS.
When a user logs into the LMS, they are authenticated with your Access Medical trials and subscriptions, and the user can select the link to the content and are taken out of the LMS and directly to the content item in the site.
Linking to content via our durable URLs makes it easy for faculty to integrate our content into the curriculum. Faculty can link to cases for case-based learning; ready-made lectures and videos for high-yield review; titles and chapters for a flipped classroom approach where students read ahead of class and come prepared to discuss, especially if paired with a private group discussion board using Hypothes.is (see tab over in this box "Notetaking"); and review Q&A and case quizzes where students can share their results via email.
In most LMS, such as Blackboard and Canvas, faculty can create a web link or use another similar tool found in their LMS login where they can insert a durable URL from our content in the Access Medical sites.
Please watch our brief video showing how to link to content. The video shows Blackboard, but it is a similar concept in other LMS.
For any questions or issues with durable URLs and linking to content, please reach out to CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com.
Instructor Resources
If you are a health educator, you can access McGraw Hill Medical teaching materials on the "For Instructors" tab in the following Access Medical sites:
Instructor resources are only provided to educators, librarians, residents, and others in teaching positions.
Faculty must have an Access profile to access the resources.
To request access, please email CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com from your institution’s email account (not your personal Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) and include your email signature and the site(s) to which you subscribe for which you would like resources for our tracking purposes.
If you would like instructor resources for a specific title not listed here, please email with the title and ISBN of the resource, and we will check to confirm whether we have instructor ancillaries for the text.
Once Customer Success has confirmed your educator status, they will enable your access to the resources on your Access profile. When faculty login to their Access profile after receiving access, they will be able to view and download all available instructor resources in the site(s).
For any questions or issues with instructor resources, please reach out to CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com.
Notetaking
Hypothes.is is an open source browser plugin that allows you to quickly annotate and highlight content on the Access Medical sites. With Hypothes.is, you can hold discussions, organize your research, and take personal notes. While this is a free tool for anyone to use anywhere on the Internet, we have saved you an extra step by embedding it on our sites for ease of use.
Hypothes.is requires an additional sign up/login separate from your Access profile in the Access Medical sites. A Hypothes.is account is free, and users can signup with a personal or institutional email address (or signup with the same credentials as their Access profile).
For instructors, Hypothes.is is a useful tool to facilitate a flipped classroom approach to assigned readings on the Access Medical sites. By linking to any title, chapter, or chapter section on the Access Medical sites via the provided durable URLs (see tab over in this box "Linking to Content"), instructors can have their students engage in an online discussion on the assigned text in a private group setup by the instructor in Hypothes.is.
For more information on using Hypothes.is, including how to setup private groups, please see our user guide below.
For any questions or issues with Hypothes.is, please contact CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com.
Content Maps
With your Access Medical trials and subscriptions, faculty have access to our range of content maps developed by McGraw Hill's medical education experts. The content maps cover a variety of medical education and professional practice areas and specialties such as Advanced Practice Nurses (APN), Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Physical Therapy (DPT) curricula, DEI content, and many more. The content maps are updated regularly to reflect new resources on the Access Medical sites and as accrediting, educational, and professional requirements are revised. These tools are ideal for faculty looking to integrate our content into their curriculum.
Please see our Content Maps webpage on our support site to view and download the content maps.
For any questions or issues with the content maps, please reach out to CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com.
Permissions
Faculty, residents, and other users who wish to reuse content from the Access Medical sites (or other McGraw Hill resources), such as for a professional presentation, poster, conference proceeding, publication, or other such use, may submit a request with the McGraw Hill Permissions team which can be found at this webpage.
Reuse of content is covered for educational purposes, such as part of a class or a campus lecture which would not require permissions. However, users are encouraged to consult McGraw Hill's Terms of Use to ensure proper, covered use of our materials.
For any permissions-related questions or issues, please reach out to the McGraw Hill Permissions team at MHE-Permissions@mheducation.com.
CME
Our CME activities are designed to give healthcare professionals the opportunity to research a self-identified clinical question at the point of care and then apply the knowledge into practice.
To earn CME credits with McGraw Hill's applicable Access Medical sites, users must create an Access profile authenticated with your institutional subscription and sign in. Users can read more about our CME's accreditation and designation, learning objectives, and more under the CME tab in their Access profile login.
For any questions or issues with CME, please reach out to CustomerSuccess@mheducation.com.
