UPCOMING EVENTS

Physician Assistants: Collaboration & Care, A National Library of Medicine Exhibit

The Netter and Arnold Bernhard Libraries in partnership with the Department of Physician Assistant Studies will host Physician Assistants: Collaboration and Care, a traveling exhibit, August 28, 2024, through October 3, 2024.  

  • On display at the Arnold Bernhard Library: August 28, 2024 - September 6, 2024
  • On display at the Netter Library: September 9, 2024 - October 3, 2024

The National Library of Medicine produced Physician Assistants: Collaboration and Care in partnership with the Physician Assistant History Society.

The traveling banner exhibition explores how the Physician Assistant (PA) profession developed as a solution to meet the social and health care needs of the mid-20th century and continues to evolve today. Collaboration has been the foundation of the profession since the first three PAs graduated from Duke University in 1967. PAs practice medicine alongside doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals, treating patients in diverse communities and addressing health care shortages.

FEATURED RESEARCH GUIDE     

Did you know we have research guides to help you with APA and AMA Citations? Our APA Citation Help and AMA Citation Help guides are located in the Research Guides section of our website. They are a great resource for quick answers for the most common concerns regarding citation formats.

DATABASE SPOTLIGHT     

If you’re looking for interactive modules that allow you to visualize the human body, try the 3D AccessMedicine human anatomy tours. There are both female and male anatomy modules, from complete body models to specific parts such as the brain, heart, and respiratory system.

To access the human anatomy tours, go to AccessMedicine and click on “Multimedia” in the navigation bar. Select “Human Anatomy Modules" from the dropdown list.

The power of these modules is the ability to manipulate the anatomical structures. For example, in the brain module you can rotate the view 360° and zoom in on specific areas. The left-hand menu offers options for different views or anatomical sections. You can also remove or isolate layers to explore anatomical elements in more detail.
