PubMed is a free online database used to search the medicine and health literature with the aim of improving both global and personal health. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to access PubMed and perform basic searches, as well as how to use some unique functions such as search filters and MeSH terms. This workshop is geared towards those who are new to PubMed and will be a mixture of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on learning.
