This list is intended for medical professionals. A list for consumers can also be found in the library. The number of medical World Wide Web sites is too numerous to list, to say nothing of the fact that new ones are being added everyday and existing ones die fast! The list below includes the best of the best. There is an emphasis on sites that contain many links to other sites, rather than an attempt to be all-inclusive. If you find any wonderful sites, please let Barbara know so that they can be added to the list.
