May 16, 2008

McGraw-Hill Professional, a leading global provider of information resources for the scientific and medical communities, today announced the redesign of its flagship product, AccessMedicine. Featuring a customizable home page, the redesign brings to the fore many of the clinical and educational tools available on the site, while streamlining the ability of users to locate images, video, and audio.

AccessMedicine is an innovative online resource that provides students, residents, clinicians, researchers, and other health professionals with access to more than 50 medical titles, updated content, thousands of photos and illustrations, interactive self-assessment, Case Files™, diagnostic tools, a comprehensive search platform, and the ability to download content to mobile devices. Updated frequently and expanded continuously, AccessMedicine provides fast, direct access to the information necessary for completing evaluations, diagnoses, and case management decisions, as well as pursuing research or medical education.

The newly redesigned homepage reflects the diversity of AccessMedicine's users, allowing individuals to customize their own view of the site through their personal profile. Now, users can decide whether they prefer a rich view of available features, a comprehensive list of McGraw-Hill's leading medical textbooks or a powerful advanced search interface as their homepage with a top-level tabbed navigation, semantic search engine, and recent updates and enhancements available on all views.

"We are proud to offer this new design of our flagship website, AccessMedicine," says Scott Grillo, medical publisher, McGraw-Hill Professional. "By simultaneously making our users more aware of the depth of the available resources while allowing them to choose the navigation that best suits their needs, we hope to improve the site for even our most dedicated users."
