Unbound Medicine and APSA launch Pediatric Surgery Library -

Unbound Medicine, a provider of knowledge management solutions for healthcare, and the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA), the nation's largest professional organization serving the pediatric surgical specialty, have launched the Pediatric Surgery Library — the premier digital resource for pediatric surgical education, training, and research.

In the past, pediatric surgeon authors would spend hours recording their knowledge and expertise in book chapters that were published once a decade by commercial publishers. The Pediatric Surgery Library was created as an alternative — to be current, affordable, and accessible on any device.

A visionary team of APSA leaders working with experts from Unbound Medicine developed a new approach to encoding and disseminating pediatric surgical knowledge. More than 400 APSA member surgeons now author evidence-based, multi-faceted content in uPub™ — Unbound's online authoring and content management system. After online editing and approval by an editorial board, the content is published instantaneously worldwide — to smartphone and tablet Apps as well as to a full-featured website.

Updated regularly, the Pediatric Surgery Library is structured by learning objectives and is augmented by surgical images, videos, and links to Maintenance of Certification CME and the medical literature. Native Apps for Apple and Android device are fully integrated with the PedSurgLibrary.com website and both are available for one price for individual users and institutional site-license customers.
