You can add emedicine as a search engine to your firefox:

Excellent post. My brother in law works for Google in their academic division. I’m sending him a link.

Medical student reporting.

Absolutely agree.

eMedicine has been a stalwart source for me, primarily because I can access it from any internet-equipped computer, unlike UpToDate. It gives good drug information also.

However, I did not use eMedicine for my surgery rotation--not enough surgical detail for management, however plenty for recognition enough for a referral.

I am using it now for presentations. Google image search is very helpful for that, especially in radiology and pathology.

Still though for most answers I use Tarascom, pocket pharmacopoeia, CMDT , and 5 minute clinical consult for the palm. Quick for one-off answers.

Excellent roundup! Thank you Kevin.

This is among the reasons why your blog was the first medical blog I subscribed to.

I use Google plus "eMedicine" in the search field just as you described it. It works the same way with "AAFP" (American Family Physician) or "Merck" (for Merck Manual) in the search box.
