Searching ClinicalKey

ClinicalKey is a clinical search engine that employs  a single search box that utilises keyword searching. Post-search, results may be narrowed/filtered as follows:

• Filter it - ClinicalKey can narrow results by source type, study type, specialty, date and Australian only content. Results update automatically.
  • Learn more about filters
• Scale it - Search wide. Search narrow. It’s up to you. ClinicalKey can search across all content or within a specific chapter, book, journal or content type
  • Learn more about searching ClinicalKey content
• Review it - View your search history to review or retry recent questions, including any filters you may have applied.
  • Access your search history by clicking on the Search History link at the top-right of screen
• Save it - If you find something interesting in your results but need to come back to it, save it for later. Customised, searchable tags keep your content organised.

ClinicalKey's Presentation Maker allows you to add content as soon as you find it – without interrupting your search.

When you find images in ClinicalKey that you’d like to use in a presentation, you can save them for later use without leaving the results page. Images can be dragged and dropped from the search results list into Presentation Maker, or saved using the “Add to Presentation” button. You can also view, move and delete content within the Presentation Maker panel.
