Merck Manual Professional

http://merckmanuals.com/

The Merck Manual Professional Version provides health care practitioners and students with practical explanations of what to do to diagnose and treat conditions in all of the major medical and surgical specialties. It covers when to suspect a disease, a sequence of evaluation, and treatment options along with selected alternatives. In addition, it provides enough background information on etiology and pathophysiology to ensure comprehension of the management recommendations.

In 2015, The Merck Manuals embarked on its most aggressive and far-reaching medical knowledge initiative to date, Global Medical Knowledge 2020. Through this worldwide project, The Merck Manuals aims to make the best current medical information accessible by more than 3 billion health care professionals and patients around the world by 2020. As part of this project, all Merck Manuals translations will be available online and kept current with the English version.


Editorial Independence:

The Merck Manual is published by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., as a service to the medical community. It is the product of a collaboration between hundreds of medical experts worldwide, an independent editorial board of peer reviewers, and the Merck Manuals editorial staff of physicians and professional medical writers. For over 100 years, The Manual has had complete editorial independence to present the best current thinking regarding medical diagnosis and treatment, and does not in any way promote or publicize Merck products. To ensure absence of commercial or corporate bias, authors and peer reviewers cannot be Merck employees, nor can they serve as speakers for Merck products, or in any other way represent the company. Although the editorial staff is employed by Merck, there is no control, review, or even input into the content of The Manuals allowed from any other part of Merck, including research and development, sales and marketing, public relations, legal, and corporate management.
