OSTMED.DR® builds upon OSTMED®, a bibliographic index to the literature of osteopathic medicine. The goal of the project is to promote and facilitate research and scholarly activity in the osteopathic profession by providing ready access to the current osteopathic literature and heretofore hard to find resources, including historical documents. Be cautioned that some of the historical content may not be good science but is of value as a record of the history of osteopathic medicine. Determining the evidence value of content is the responsibility of the database user/researcher.
