Blinn College Library subscribes to several databases that you can use to search for periodical articles in allied health fields
CINAHL

needs and foster an overall understanding of health-related topics.

Health
Reference Center Academic (Academically oriented) / Health
and Wellness Resource Center (Consumer oriented) - Both
of these databases index over 800 health periodicals, many full
text reference books and pamphlets.
Many articles are available full text. While there is a great
deal of overlap in the content of these two
databases, Health Reference Center Academic provides more advanced
search capabilities, while Health and Wellness Resource Center
provides a graphical, more intuitive interface.

MedicLatina

journals published by renowned Latin American medical publishers.

pre-formulated searches of the MEDLINE/PubMed database, allowing
you to find references to latest health professional articles
on your topic.

articles on medical conditions, presenting in an evidence-based
manner the alternative medicine therapies proposed for use in
their treatment. It also contains detailed, evidence-based information

full text publications, including nearly 550 peer-reviewed titles.
Covers topics such as emotional and behavioral characteristics,
psychiatry & psychology, mental processes, anthropology, and
observational and experimental methods.
Open Access Initiative Databases
The Open Access Initiative (OAI) is a new way for scholars to publish research findings. Since a great deal of research is subsidized by governments or institutions, scholars have been pushing for ways to publish that ensure free and unrestricted access to scholarly & research journals. The following two free databases index articles published in open access journals. The open access journals are generally not indexed in the library databases listed above, although MEDLINE does index some of them.
DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals and Open J-Gate
And a really special search engine...
Google Scholar - Use this version of Google to search the web for scholarly articles on your topic. The drawback is that if Google doesn't link you to full text, you will have to go through the steps mentioned below to see if full text is available through the Blinn College Library. Try the library's databases and open access journal databases first.
