Health Education Assets Library (HEAL) collection continues to grow

http://www.healcentral.org/index.jsp
The Health Education Assets Library (HEAL) collection continues to grow, with more than 21,000 high-quality materials available for use including the following featured collections:

Gallery of Hematology Images
Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
~~Christine Lawrence, MD, Distinguished University Professor of Medicine emerita at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, developed the Gallery of Hematology Images over 40 years of practice as a clinical hematologist at Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, New York. The collection contains approximately 600 peer-reviewed images and surveys most of the hematologic disorders, as well as many infectious diseases evident on examination of blood and bone marrow smears.

William F. Hoyt Neuro-Ophthalmology Collection
from the Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library (NOVEL)
~~The best examples from the extensive collection of William F. Hoyt, MD, Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, University of California, San Francisco, Department of Ophthalmology. This collection of 850+ images focuses on the optic disc and has been peer reviewed by members of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS) Web Education Committee.

Medical Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction
~~Medical Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction, A Course on Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare for Healthcare Providers, was the first of its kind following the devastating events of 2001. This Web-based course combines Medantic Technology's didactic presentations and Medulator virtual patient cases delivered via a custom learning management system. Originally published for Medantic Technology by Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, the course was co-developed with subject matter expertise provided by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, with certification provided by the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine.
