Not finding everything you need on the LAVC Library website? Sometimes, your research needs will require you to venture from the Library website in order to find the information you're after. If that's the case, scroll below for some reliable non-LAVC websites that may be helpful.
We have organized our recommended websites under the following categories: evidence-based practice (EBP), clinical practice guidelines, professional/medical associations, lung & breath sounds, health statistics/data, and medication/prescription drugs.
Note: Clinical practice guidelines can be found in CINAHL (Advanced Search > Publication Type > Practice Guidelines) and PubMed (in the far-left column of a results list, click on "Practice Guideline" under "Article Type")
National Databases
For more examples of clinical practice guidelines, explore some of the sites listed below (in Professional/Medical Associations)
Professional or Medical Associations (sometimes referred to as Professional/Medical Organizations or Societies) can provide a wealth of information on a particular profession or subject area. You may already be a member of a Professional Association, or you may be joining one in the future as you start your career.
A list of prominent RT-related Association sites is presented below:
