Eligibility
The Thomson Healthcare Academic Program is available to schools throughout the U.S. and Canada that offer a healthcare-
related curriculum such as:
禄 Pharmacy
禄 Nursing
禄 Medical
禄 Allied Health
It is recommended that a single subscription be shared by all healthcare programs within your college or university. If a single
subscription is not the best option for your institution, a separate subscription can be set up for each school (pharmacy,
nursing, etc.). Access is limited to faculty and currently-enrolled healthcare students.
Access Options
Because not all schools have the same needs or technological capabilities, there are several options to make Thomson
Healthcare鈥檚 clinical knowledge solutions available to your students and faculty. This electronic resource can be accessed
through:
禄 A simple user name and password system allowing unlimited, simultaneous use
禄 IP authentication for access on campus including labs and libraries
禄 School reference site/source (e.g., a proxy server) for remote access
NOTE: All options require that access be restricted to healthcare students and faculty.
Implementation and Maintenance
Once your subscription is set up, you will be provided with a URL for the Thomson Healthcare clinical content. You can then
create links to this resource from your reference library Web site or other sources within your institution such as simulation lab
computers. You will also be provided with a user name and password for distribution to eligible users, if applicable. No need to
worry about keeping up with annual renewal dates 鈥? your subscription will be automatically renewed each year at no cost.
Get unlimited access to essential clinical decision support tools at no cost!
