Join us for the next National Library of Medicine (NLM) Office Hours on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at 1 PM Eastern Time. This session will focus on the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS), a set of files and software available from the U.S. NLM that brings together many biomedical vocabularies and standards for drugs, diseases, procedures, lab tests, medical devices, organisms, anatomy, genes, and more. The UMLS team will discuss the UMLS Metathesaurus data release files and the UMLS editing process before answering your questions.
