Kept the yearly access for the whole specialty range. One login beats separate databases.
L. Ferreira –
Excellent search, though no mobile on this tier bit me on call. The PC access is solid.

Used it through residency for the 600 journals. Indexed daily means it stays current.
Dr. S. Bose –
The 2,900 drug monographs are my daily go-to. PC-only is a drag but fine at my desk.
