If you are considering a career in healthcare or simply have an interest in health and disease there is a wealth of information available on the web. The trick is to find valid and reliable information known as “peer reviewed”. By the way, Wikipedia is neither valid nor reliable and should NOT be used. Two sites you may want to become familiar with are:

a) The World Health Organization (WHO) @ www.who.org

b) The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) @ www .cdc.gov

5) Please use APA style for references, I have provided some examples below:

a) Journal article: Smith, D. (2008). Learning is fun. Journal of Clinical Learning, volume, pages.

b) Book: Smith, D. (2008). Knowledge is Good, 8th ed. New York: Fish face (pub)

c) Website: Smith, D. (2008). Microbiology is fun. Journal of Clinical Nonsense, Retrieved October 1, 2008 from http://www.letsgomets.com
