Resources for this case include:
Textbook Suggestions (look left)
Point of Care tools -- There is more than Up to Date
Databases: PubMed & Education Resources Information Center
Federated Clinical Search tools -- TRIP database
For those questions that are more clinically oriented, the point of care tools (Up to Date and eMedicine) will help you understand better a disease, related tests, associated treatments and more. Don't just use Up to Date - for this topic you might really like the concise display on eMedicine.
PubMed
There is so much recent literature on peanut allergy that you will find some of the latest research on it in PubMed. A simple peanut allergy search (maybe add treatment) with a couple of extra settings will get you some good results. After the search,:
ERIC: Education Resources Information Center
The other database that will greatly help you is the database specifically for information about education called ERIC. It will cover everything from dealing with peanut allergies in schools to epipens to more psycho-social topics. A simple search will do - the following is just one example.
Videos & Multimedia
A Google-like Tool just for Medical Resources
Ever wish there was a Google that was just medical resources? There is one that gets you pretty close to that. The Trip Database focuses on evidence based resources and you will see that the information presented reflects that focus with synopses, guidelines, systematic reviews & meta-analysis, ect. Try it out.
