Are you ever in need of sending your clients to a website with reliable, high quality, Canadian information?  Look no further!

 

The Consumer Health Information Providers Interest Group (CHIPIG) has recently released its Top 10 list of Canadian Consumer Health Websites.

 

The selection of these websites was based on multiple criteria, including credibility, currency, disclaimer, disclosure, purpose and target audience, user-friendliness & interactivity with a focus on accessibility.

 

For more information, visit CHIPIG’s website www.chla-absc.ca/chipig/top-ten_websites.html
