Honour for this website

At the Annual American College of Rheumatology/ARHP Scientific Meeting in Orlando, FL (Oct/03) .... Physicians from Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, IL, presented the Fibromyalgia Information website as the number two internet site among the top websites recognized as The Best Fibromyalgia Websites. The study selected the top twenty websites out of over 900,000 listed on Yahoo and Google, to critically assess using specific evaluation criteria.

The criteria included: accuracy for medical content, up-to-date quality information, links to other resources, alternative treatment options, user friendliness, and whether the websites should be recommended to both patients and medical professionals.
The Canadian Medical Association Journal has published this information in the February 3, 2004 issue online at www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/170/3/326 and at www.cmaj.ca/cgi/reprint/170/3/326.pdf for the PDF of the printed copy.
