Resources for Medical Terminology Assignment

Finding medical journal articles

ProQuest Health and Medical Complete is a great starting point. Start with a term that will retrieve an article on a clinical topic. For example, use the word "myocardial infarction" (medical term) instead of "heart attack" (common term). Don't choose articles with titles including words like "incidence", "prevalence" or "risk factors", which often have more statistics than medical terms.
