At ZB MED, too, visitors can expect a varied programme of music, workshops, advice, DIY and a look behind the scenes of the library until late in the evening. A special highlight of the event is the launch of our cooperation with the AMBOSS knowledge platform. Together, we will facilitate access to medical literature for students and doctors in the future. A direct link from AMBOSS to the ZB MED search portal LIVIVO will give users fast and often free access to relevant medical literature.
