Health Information Online

I came across this article today. It has a wonderful summary of useful websites for free health information. The categories are: General interest sites, Medical research sites, Patient sites, Disease specific sites, and Web tools.

I'd like to add to that list. The GU/MSB library offers additional online health information to you for free (the library buys it for you). Here are some highlights:

• Interactive Functional Anatomy - Images and animations of the human muscular system in motion.


• Health Reference Center - online encyclopedia of disease, wellness, body systems and more


• EBSCO's AltHealth Watch - Alternative medicine information


• Gale's Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Collection - articles about treatment techniques


• EBSCO's CINAHL - definitive index for nurses/ nursing students


• ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health - scholarly and trade articles for health professionals


• Gale's Health Reference Center Academic - reference books and articles for health professionals


• Gale's Nursing and Allied Health Collection - articles about specialized care, treatment and management.
