Announcing the U.S. ME/CFS Clinician Coalition Website!

The goal of this website is to help medical providers deliver better care to people with ME/CFS. It includes resources that may assist with diagnosis of ME/CFS and insight into clinical management, opportunities for continued medical education courses on ME/CFS, guidance on disability or school/work accommodations, and more.
We do hope this website can serve as a valuable resource that people with ME/CFS can also share with their medical providers.
