Physicians group websites and premier health organizations websites

A second good source of medical information is the different doctor groups’ websites.  For example,

The American Medical Association website has a “patient” section at

http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/patients/patients.page? 

The American Academy of Pediatrics has a “healthy child” section at

http://www.healthychildren.org/English/Pages/default.aspx 

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers information for patients at Family Doctor.org

http://familydoctor.org/familydoctor/en.html 

Orthopaedic surgeons provide patient education on their website at

http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/
