Jun 11, 2026 9:46:53 AM / by Janice Moore, MLS

Did you know…this time of year, NC AHEC is welcoming new resident physicians, fellows, and health science students to teaching hospitals and community sites across the state. As they begin this next phase of training, easy access to trusted, evidence-based information is essential for both learning and patient care.

To support onboarding and ongoing clinical decision-making, the AHEC Digital Library (ADL) offers a wide range of resources tailored to residents and other learners, including:

  • Research Databases: Access to major clinical and biomedical databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Collection of Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews.
  • Journals & E-Books: Thousands of full-text medical/nursing journals and core textbooks.
  • Point-of-Care Tools: Includes synthesized clinical tools like Essential Evidence Plus for quick, evidence-based decision-making at the bedside.
  • Subject Guides (LibGuides): Specialized resource hubs covering key health topics.
  • Certification & Specialty Readings: Curated articles and reading lists—such as the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) recommended articles.

Start Strong with the Resident Survival Guide

For new residents looking for a quick orientation to these tools, the Resident Survival Guide is an excellent place to begin. This guide brings together essential library resources, tips for efficient searching, and quick links to high-value clinical tools—helping residents get up to speed quickly and make the most of their ADL access from day one.

Whether you’re preparing for rounds, researching a clinical question, or reviewing for boards, the guide serves as a practical roadmap to the most useful resources available through NC AHEC Library Services.
