Not just books


Remember that the IHE Library isn’t just books and journals.  We also have CD-ROMs, DVDs, study kits, and other resources that can help you master your skills.

The Clinical Skills series “consists of 10 DVDs that present over 140 core medical assisting skills in an innovative, interactive video format. Each DVD is divided into individual sections and features at least 13 videos that follow a consistent format and focus on an essential medical assisting skill set. Actual medical assistants perform all the skills, as well as skill variations, demonstrating proper technique in the clinical setting. Interactive onscreen review questions reinforce key concepts and test understanding” (retrieved December 12, 2012, from http://www.elsevier.com/books/saunders-clinical-skills-for-medical-assistants/saunders/978-1-4160-2426-2#).  The disks include:
