Welcome to the DHA VML

The Defense Health Agency Virtual Medical Library (DHA VML) provides access to high-quality, evidence-based medical, nursing, and allied health information resources for Military Health System personnel. The VML ensures that all personnel have access to core, essential resources regardless of duty station. While on the DHA network, no login is necessary to access any library resources. If you're experiencing problems, please connect through your local medical facility library or respective OpenAthens Library.

While all medical personnel can use the VML, if you're stationed at a medical facility with a local facility library, please contact the local library first for guidance on how to access resources. Local libraries often have additional resources not available in the VML.
