PubMed is one of the most popular ways to search the medical literature but there are a few tricks to getting the most out of it. The first 40-45 minutes of this workshop will take you through the various features of PubMed including how to create an account, build a search using MeSH, use field, truncation, phrase and proximity searching, and save searches and export results. The final 15-20 minutes will be for you to ask questions and (hopefully) get answers to any PubMed challenges you have been experiencing.

By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to:

Identify and use relevant Medical Subject Headings (MeSH),
Limit your search to specific fields,
Use truncation, and phrase searching,
Understand the new proximity search feature,
Save searches and export results.

Part of the ASPIRE series of workshops for graduate students.
