Medical Journal Articles for FNP Students

About MEDLINE

MEDLINE indexes articles in medical journals/medical research  as compiled by the National Library of Medicine. This database includes detailed and controlled medical terminology (MESH headings) for each entry, to identify and fully trace research on specific medical topics.

Almost all PubMed content is eventually indexed by MEDLINE, although it can take several weeks before newly published articles listed in PubMed are also listed in MEDLINE.
