Health-education career schools seeking to take their programs to the next level will be interested in offering Virtual Library to their faculty and students. It's an online resource center designed with the allied health fields in mind. Through a single Web site, students can do homework, research, or complete lessons from home or at school.

In partnership with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education (ABHES), Cengage Delmar Learning has collaborated with other Cengage businesses to offer the most useful content and tools that these ABHES-accredited schools need to provide the best online resources for their faculties and students.

The ABHES Database:

One of the many valuable areas of the Virtual Library is the customized health-related database designed for ABHES and ABHES-accredited schools.

  • Medical encyclopedia

  • Health organization directory

  • Health news

  • Drug and herb finder

  • Medical dictionary

  • Alternative health encyclopedia

  • Health assessment tools
