Free patient education brochures from the American College of Physicians

Each brochure clearly presents treatment and management details for patients to follow to counter the effects of a disease, condition or health problem. They also provide references to trusted print and Internet sources. You can trust the information because each brochure has been reviewed and approved by the American College of Physicians, one of the leading medical societies in the world.
