Hardin MD by the University of Iowa—This site is one stop shopping that lets you search by subject or disease, and links you to articles on the
subject located at multiple sites such as WebMed, Yahoo, etc. which makes your research easier.
Types of arrhythmia - Includes animations that shows electrical path through the heart.
Wound Care Information Network - Information on pressure ulcer staging
Free Class Videos - This site has links to some major universities that have submitted videos of full courses. Includes a full course in Human
Disease, which is more in depth than HIM disease classes, but very interesting.
Medline Plus—these sites are geared to medical consumers, but is detailed enough to be a helpful study aid
.

MERCK MANUALS
MedicineNet.com—a website that targets medical consumer, but has enough detailed information to be a helpful study aid.
Mayo Clinic
WebMD—This website targets medical consumers, but is detailed enough to be a good study aid.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - General information and statistical information for some diseases.

variety of subjects including, Anatomy, Cell Biology, Histology, Pharmacology, Pathology, etc. Also contains some learning games.
E-Medicine by Medscape - Each article contains a section titled "Pathophysiology", which could be very helpful to students and coders. The
site is billed as being a Continually Updated Clinical Reference" and has 10,000 Physician Contributors. I did find more detailed information
on some subject than was found in other references. Website and/or article descriptions -© 2009 C. Pearson & originally published on www.
medicalcodingresources.com
Cleveland Clinic Disease Management Project - This is another great site! It provides the nationally established treatment guidelines, but the
information is available for a limited number of diseases. The information is some of the most complete, easy to understand information
that I have seen. Website and/or article descriptions -© 2009 C. Pearson & originally published on www.medicalcodingresources.com
An introduction to Human Disease Pathology and Pathophysiology Correlations- 6th edition- Another Google online book with a limited view,
but with great information. You can go to Google Books and search for your subject and get a list of books to view that may contain you
information. It is a great resource! Website and/or article descriptions -© 2009 C. Pearson & originally published on www.medicalcodingresources.com

MERCK MANUALS
- MERCK MEDICUS—a Professional Site—The information explains in a great detail and uses professional vocabulary. This site is
meant to be used by doctors, nursing, and other health care professionals. It requires you to setup an account, and asks for a
professional license number. I used my account number through American Health Information Management Association which
allows me access to most of the information. There are some parts of the site that are restricted to physicians only. It is the most
complete site that I have found on the web. - MERCK MANUAL FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS—Geared to healthcare professionals. It is a little easier to understand than the
MERCK MEDICUS, and has a great deal of information on disease, procedures, drugs, etc.
