When clinicians lack the knowledge they need, patients are denied the care they deserve. To close the gap, the World ME Alliance has created and curated a Medical Education Hub. Click the play button below to watch a short demonstration video.

The Medical Education Hub:

  1. contains trusted, evidence-based resources to equip healthcare professionals, inform researchers, educationalists and policymakers, and improve the experiences of people with ME/CFS and their families;
  2. aims to foster a future where care is grounded in science, and shaped by dignity and compassion;
  3. provides a range of resources that vary in terms of length and format (e.g. webinars, documents);
  4. includes resources in various languages, currently including:
    1. English
    2. Spanish
    3. German
    4. French
    5. Dutch
    6. Italian
    7. Brazilian Portuguese
    8. European Portuguese
    9. Hebrew
  5. organises resources into categories, currently including:
    1. Full Guidelines
    2. Continuing Professional Development
    3. Severe ME
    4. Quick reference summaries
    5. Medicines
