Clinical Collections

• Jefferson Clinical Image Database (Campus Key required)
  The JCI includes over 1,000 digital clinical images depicting a wide variety of disease entities ranging from the commonplace to the unusual. Students and residents, at all levels of training, are encouraged to visit the site to either refresh their clinical diagnostic skills in general, or to study a specific entity in more depth. The images were all photographed on the Jefferson campus; hence they represent a cross-section of diseases that a student is likely to encounter in an urban setting. Entries emphasize the description, diagnostic work-up, and treatment of each specific entity.
