APTA's PubMed^®/MEDLINE^® Search Page

Search PubMed^®/MEDLINE^®.

MEDLINE^® is the largest component of PubMed^®, the National Library of Medicine's (NLM^®) database of biomedical citations and abstracts that is searchable on the Web (http://pubmed.gov) at no cost. The MEDLINE^® database covers from 1966 to the present and is updated on a daily basis. (OLDMEDLINE ^®, a subset of PubMed, contains pre-1966 citations). MEDLINE^® includes more than 14 million citations from more than 4,800 different biomedical journals, including Physical Therapy: Journal of the American Physical Therapy Association. APTA members have free access to Physical Therapy.

Note: MEDLINE^® contains citations only; full-text articles are available from a variety of sources, including article publishers. See "How to Find Information in the Physical Therapy Literature."
