Your StaffLink login can be used to access CIAP offsite. For remote access, go to CIAP (bookmark this link or just search for "CIAP" using your browser), then enter your StaffLink login and password when prompted.  The website is mobile friendly.  As a student you will need to renew your account every three months on a Hospital computer.

Please note: to save your CIAP searches and citations in CIAP Ovid Databases (e.g. Medline) you will also need to register for a CIAP Ovid account.  Look for My Account in the menu bar of any CIAP Ovid database.
