comprehensive resource lists in health-related subjects. It includes subject
listings in large "one-stop-shopping" sites, such as MedWeb and Yahoo, and
also independent discipline-specific lists. Hardin MD subject pages indicate the
length of lists in each subject, making it easy to see at a glance which lists are
most comprehensive - These are often not the lists from
the"one-stop-shopping" sites, but those developed by people within the field,
which are well-known and frequently cited within the field, but not
well-known outside it." The site also features links to health news online, the
University of Iowa Virtual Hospital and other major index sites.
