Thomson Delmar Learning’s Virtual Library

In partnership with ABHES, Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, Thomson Delmar Learning offers the Virtual Library, an online resource center for career schools with health education programs. Students can do homework, perform research or complete lessons from home or at school. Instructors can create lessons and discussions around critical information and procedures. Administrators can reduce their expenses and provide critical resources that could help with accreditation.

Thomson Delmar Learning has collaborated with other Thomson businesses to offer the most useful content and tools that these ABHES-accredited schools need to provide the best online resources for their faculties and students.
