A fond farewell to our Director, Nancy Bulgarelli! Nancy was the founding director of the Medical Library and an inspiration to all the faculty and staff she worked with. Luckily for us, Nancy is not moving too far as she has moved on to an Associate Professor position at Kresge Library! Farewell, Nancy! Thank you for all you did to make the OUWB Medical Library so wonderful! It was an honor and privilege working for you!
Welcome to the class of 2025! We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our study spaces! We are here to provide a welcome environment for study and research and help you navigate the resources we provide to support you along the way with your medical studies.

Try VisualDx!
We now subscribe to VisualDx, an image-based clinical support tool with integrated point-of-care information. This tool can be used for patient care and study in identifying visually identifiable diseases including dermatologic, infectious, genetic, metabolic, drug-induced conditions, and occupational injuries. More than 28% of the images are of skin types IV, V, and VI. Check out our fact sheet for more information!
New Nutrition Database!
Nutrition and Food Sciences is a specialist internet resource that gathers together research, reviews and news on nutrition and the food sciences in an easily searchable database. It covers the whole food chain from the raw ingredients to the physiological and health effects of nutrients. Key subject areas include public health, clinical nutrition, nutrition physiology, food safety, food security, consumer behavior, food science and technology, and food product groups such as functional foods.
