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

and at www.cmaj.ca/cgi/reprint/170/3/326.pdf
