Where to find medical images and videos
Posted: January 22, 2026
The library provides specialized LibGuides designed to help faculty and students easily locate and integrate high-quality media into their academic work. Whether you are building a course in Canvas or preparing a student presentation, these two guides offer a wealth of curated resources.
Library Streaming Media Resources
The Streaming Media Resources LibGuide serves as a central hub for the library’s large collection of educational videos. These resources range from short clips covering single procedures to full-length films that provide broad perspectives on medical topics.
Collections include videos from:
- Access Medicine
- Access Physiotherapy
- Acland’s Video Atlas
- Bates/OSCE
- Echo360 Library Media
- Films on Demand
- ICE PT/OT Video Library
- Lippincott’s Osteopathic Clinical Skills
- Medical Safety Training Videos by MedCom
- Oral Surgery Videos
- POEM of the Week Podcasts
- Procedures Consult
- Sage Research Methods Video
- States of Grace
- Unnatural Causes
Search & Integration: Users can find content by searching Still OneSearch and filtering results by “video”. Faculty can easily embed these videos directly into Canvas courses or provide direct links, with the guide offering step-by-step technical instructions for both.
For those seeking visual aids, the Image Resources LibGuide provides access to millions of medical and dental images. These materials are generally permitted for educational use through fair use and the library’s negotiated licenses.
The guide features powerful tools such as ClinicalKey, which hosts over 3.5 million images, and Anatomy TV, which offers highly detailed, interactive 3D models of the human body. Another great anatomy atlas resource is Anatomy Teaching Assistant from Thieme.
The guide also links to various government and open access image databases, such as Images from the History of Medicine, Open-I from the National Library of Medicine, and the CDC’s Public Health Image Library (PHIL).
