Professor Rita Popat uses Lane's website daily for her research and teaching needs.
As an educator, Rita accesses e-textbooks, especially the Access Medicine/Lange titles on Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
To her students, Rita frequently recommends Lane's exam preparation e-textbooks, especially those titles on preventive medicine and public health.

Lastly, when Rita is looking for that perfect current research article or disease topic to use in her lectures, she often turns to PubMed and UpToDate for great articles and background information.
