An array of medical education resources and activities is available on StatPearls.com, a professional health care education and technology company.

These materials include point-of-care tools, board preparation resources, and continuing medical education for several health care professions. The company employs thousands of expert contributors, internal reviewers, and editors in the creation of its content.

StatPearls has produced an extensive library of topical articles available on the NCBI Bookshelf, a free collection of thousands of books and documents in the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine. The library includes materials on the biomedical and life sciences as well as health care and medical humanities and social sciences.

The inclusion of StatPearls resources on the NCBI Bookshelf makes them highly visible by search engines. Students may assume that they are associated with NIH, but as with any resource, it is always good practice to verify content with other resources.
