Guides: PAH Surgery: Databases and Point of Care Resources

A note from the librarian

The journals, books, databases, and additional resources on these pages have been curated by me but should not be taken as the only materials available from the University of Pennsylvania Libraries. I focus on publication date (last five years), title relevance, and author affiliation with PennMedicine, when applicable. Please be sure to reference the library's catalog, Franklin, for additional resources.

Please share any suggestions about content and/or organization of the guide anytime.

Sincerely,

Michelle Bass

Clinical Information Librarian
