Screening and Prevention: Additional Resources

Don't forget to review the the evaluation criteria in the syllabus appendices. I will have a copy of this open while you are presenting.

Guidelines for almost any clinical subject can be found at:
The National Guideline Clearinghouse: http://www.guidelines.gov/

You should of course review any guidelines or screening materials from appropriate groups such as the National Cancer Institute, American College of Ob/Gyn...

One independent group that produces useful clinical guidelines is:
The Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement: http://www.icsi.org/

Don't forget to check what the United States Preventative Services Task Force has to say:
