New eBook – Health Equity: A Solutions-Focused Approach

Posted on by

The Library has purchased a new electronic book, entitled Health Equity: A Solutions-Focused Approach. This is a comprehensive textbook that “illustrates existing conditions of health disparities across a range of populations in the United States, positions those disparities within the broader sociopolitical framework that leads to their existence, and most importantly, presents specific ways in which health equity solutions can be designed and implemented.”

Health Equity: A Solutions-Focused Approach details current theoretical foundations, cultural context, evidence-based models and interventions, and the central role that health equity initiatives must play in public health research and practice.

New Database! ClinMicroNow

Posted on by

The Library has added a new clinical microbiology database called ClinMicroNow. This resource combines the content of the American Society for Microbiology’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology (MCM), the Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook (CMPH), and Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. MSK’s Esther Babady, Ph.D., D(ABMM), FIDSA is a member of the interdisciplinary team of editors and authors that created ClinMicroNow.

ClinMicroNow offers searches to find the complete range of pathogenic microbial organisms and related laboratory procedures. The clinical microbiology content is continuously updated by peer-selected authors, subject matter experts, and editors.

This resource is also searchable in our Database A-Z list. The Department of Laboratory Medicine has provided financial support for this resource.
