Using Medical Subject Headings in PubMed


April 13, 2026


This workshop offers a brief but informative introduction to MeSH, or Medical Subject Headings, and their uses in PubMed to narrow and focus searches. MeSH can be an important way to limit searches to particular populations and/or audiences, as well as pinpoint medical conditions, epidemiology, and more. While all are welcome, this workshop is most suited to those with an understanding of basic PubMed searching.  

Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026

Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm

Location: KL 371
