Medical Education Hub
This is the pilot version of our global Medical Education Hub, designed to guide healthcare professionals to reliable, evidence-based resources on ME/CFS. Over time, we aim to further develop and expand the hub, making it as clear, user-friendly, and accessible as possible across different languages and levels of cognitive impairment. If you have any feedback, please contact us.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a seriously disabling condition that affects at least 67 million people worldwide. Yet in many countries, medical education on ME/CFS is scarce or absent, leaving clinicians without the knowledge they need and patients without the care they deserve. The consequences are significant: delayed diagnoses, harmful or inappropriate treatments, and repeated experiences of stigma and disbelief.

Clinicians themselves are underserved. With little training, many feel uncertain or ill-equipped to provide care. ME/CFS can present differently in each patient, research is still evolving, and no single biomarker has yet been identified. This uncertainty can be uncomfortable for clinicians, but it is not a reason for inaction. Clinicians have a duty to provide safe, structured and supportive care while adapting as the evidence base develops.
This hub was created to help close the education gap. By gathering trusted, evidence-based resources, WMEA aims to equip healthcare professionals, inform researchers, educationalists and policymakers, and improve the experiences of people with ME/CFS and their families. Above all, it is about fostering a future where care is grounded in science, and shaped by dignity and compassion.
