ClinicalKey is a "clinical insight engine" specifically to help physicians and students find the most relevant clinical answers fast. 

Access ClinicalKey here. Find more information here. If you want to download content e.g. as a PDF or for a presentation, you need to log in - registration is free. The registration link is on the top right side of the screen.

Using a proprietary search taxonomy called EMMeT (Elsevier Merged Medical Taxonomy), ClinicalKey understands search terms that conventional clinical search engines can't. The result is fast, relevant answers that reduce search time and create more time for patient care.
