Professional Medical LinksDoctors and nurses sometimes need access to information of
a highly-technical nature to help them make the best health
care decisions possible. It is also important that they stay
informed on the many advances in modern health care. The list of links found lower on this page provides a multitude
of information on a wide variety of topics.
These sites were chosen using criteria formulated by the Health Summit Working
Group and other criteria, including credibility,
sponsorship/authorship, content, audience, currency, disclosure,
purpose, links, design, interactivity, and caveats. Health
sciences librarians are uniquely qualified, through our training
and experience, to evaluate the quality of health-related
websites. We hope you use evaluative criteria on all health
web sites you use.
