Over the last decade higher education has shifted from the teacher centered delivery of information towards a student centered problem based learning approach. This shift was made possible by the increasing availability of scientific information from online resources. However, the amount and often ambiguous information provided by the internet poses a challenge to find the best available evidence. Consequently, a new area of learning has to be added to the curricula of higher education: Where and how to search for the best evidence available. This article reviews the most important medical databases and their features. The skilled utilization of these databases as a source of information is indispensable for problem based learning and evidence based decision making in medical education today.
