NLM Office Hours: The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)

This class is no longer accepting registrations

Join us for the next National Library of Medicine (NLM) Office Hours on Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 1pm Eastern Time. 

This session will focus on the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), a set of files and software available from the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) that brings together many biomedical vocabularies and standards for drugs, diseases, procedures, lab tests, medical devices, organisms, anatomy, genes, and more. The UMLS team will discuss the UMLS Metathesaurus data release files and the UMLS editing process before answering your questions. 

To submit questions in advance, please send them to NLMTrainers@nih.gov with the subject line: "NLM Office Hours." 

Is there an NLM product you would like to know more about? Send requests for future office hour topics through the NLM Support Center using the subject line: "NLM Office Hour Request." 

Subscribe to NLM Technical Bulletin email updates for notifications about future NLM office hours.
