Pharmacy Resources: Databases & Resources

This toolkit is provided to assist you in finding the information you need in the field of Pharmacy.  If you need assistance, contact the Sladen Information Desk.

Click on the tabs along the top of the page to see the Pharmacy resources in each category.

Sladen databases and electronic resources are available for Henry Ford Health team members and affiliated students. 

• If you are using a computer at a Henry Ford Health facility or on the Henry Ford Health network, you will not need an ID and password to access online resources.

• For access from home or off-network, you will be prompted to login to remote access.

• Most users can login to the library remotely using their Henry Ford Health Corp ID and password (it's the same as your Henry Ford Health Outlook ID and password). Contact the Sladen Library if you do not have a Henry Ford Health Corp ID and password. 

Please visit our web page Sladen Remote Access for further information.  

The following is a list of Sladen Library databases that will be helpful in locating articles and information. If you would like search help or research assistance from a Sladen librarian, please contact the library or fill out the Literature Search Request form.

Login with the username and password you created in the first step. Tip: Your username is your full Henry Ford Health email address with the "@hfhs.org" included.

Size of the download! So that it can be used without access to the Internet, this app downloads a full copy (currently around 1.8 GB) of the database onto your device. Make sure you are willing and able to use up that much space on your device before downloading. Data updates occur once per day, and you can select how these occur, either over wi-fi or cellular, in the app settings. To save on your network data plan, keep the "Update Over Cellular" option in Settings turned off.
