DHA Virtual Medical Library (VML) OpenAthens Self-Registration Form

This OpenAthens account provides off-network access to the high-quality, evidence-based medical, nursing, and allied health information resources provided by the Defense Health Agency (DHA). It can also be used as a workaround to access library resources when experiencing problems with direct IP access while on the DHA network (onsite or VPN). DHA personnel (civilian and contractor) and others who are not eligible for one of the military services' OpenAthens accounts can register for an VML OpenAthens account.

Authorized users must register for OpenAthens with their health.mil address.
