The American Academy of Family Physicians recently unveiled an enhanced version of its award-winning patient education website, familydoctor.org, offering visitors expanded content and an improved user experience.
The upgraded familydoctor.org:
- Provides new health and wellness information—in both English and Spanish—that’s been reviewed by family physicians and patients
- Delivers printable articles that can be used as patient education handouts, ensuring that patients have access to leading-edge information
- Offers patients basic diagnosis and treatment information with an updated symptom checker
- Is fully functional on mobile devices, so patients can easily find family physician-supported answers to new and breaking health issues.
More than 4 million people a month visit the site looking for medical answers and advice from a source they know and trust. All content on the site is written and reviewed by physicians and patient education professionals at the AAFP, is organized into five main sections, and offers monthly features emphasizing timely, credible content on specific topics that focus on achieving optimal health.
