Clarification on the Clinical Key Mobile App

There has been some confusion about  getting the new Clinical Key App.

BEFORE you download the app, you FIRST need to set up a Clinical Key Personal Account and activate remote access.

In other words, the vendor needs to know that you are a Ministry Person, and therefore entitled to this app.  Access comes with our Library subscription, and is not free to just anyone.  Though it will be free to you as a Ministry employee. 

Below, you’ll find a tutorial to lead you through that process, with a link to the revised article about getting the Clinical Key App.
