Preparing for a Career in Health Care? Check out WPL's Resources!

Worcester Public Library offers students who are studying and preparing for a career in health care a variety of resources to help them succeed on their education path.


We have many study guides for various health care fields in our 2nd floor stacks at the Main Library. Check out this Reading List to see if we have what you are looking for. 



We have databases that health care students will find useful from preparing for entrance exams, to conducting research, to preparing for license or certificate exams.


Learning Express Library


This database can be found under the Education & Test Prep link on our Online Databases page. A Worcester Public Library Card and pin number are needed to create an account. 

Once the account is created, you have access to wide variety of test prep materials such as entrance exams for health occupations, nursing school entrance tests, allied health exams, nursing license and certificate exams, and emergency medical services certification exams.



Health & Nursing Gale Databases


The health related Gale databases can be found under the Health & Nursing link on our Online Databases page. They include Gale - Health and Wellness Resource Center, Gale - Health Reference Center Academic, Gale - Nursing and Allied Health Collection, and Gale - Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Collection. 

These databases offer access to academic journals, magazines, books, reference, images, and videos. Results can be refined by a variety of filters; peer-reviewed, full-text, images, publication dates, and so on. 

Gale databases allow users to sign in with their Google or Microsoft accounts. Once signed in, users can save articles and send them to their OneDrive™ or their Google Drive™. The database also offers citation tools and does the work for you!
