A quick search for "reliable health information" on the Internet will return more than 25 million hits. But do these sites really live up to their claims?

In this 90-minute seminar, you'll learn five key criteria for evaluating the health information you find online. You'll receive a checklist with specific questions to ask about each site to determine its validity. You'll also receive a list of the top recommended medical information sites. Lunch is provided by Northwest AHEC.
