Directory of Patient Education Resources

Home > Health > Education > Patient Education

Inclusion to this category requires a site to offer reliable medical information, presented in an easy-to-understand format. The emphasis is placed on "Education"--sites which offer timely information to enhance the relationship between a patient and their healthcare professional.

Commercial sites (including those for pharmaceutical or healthcare services) do NOT belong here because any "education" they contain cannot be considered unbiased. Please send such sites to the appropriate category in Business/ or Regional/.
