For Healthcare Providers
You can make a difference in the life of your patients with Fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia can be challenging to diagnose and manage, and every patient's experience is unique. Staying current on the evolving science and approaches to care can also be difficult for busy healthcare professionals.
​
To help, we've brought together selected educational resources, research articles, expert-authored books, and practical tools for healthcare providers and researchers. You'll also find resources to share with patients to help them better understand and manage fibromyalgia.
​
We'll continue adding new research, educational opportunities, and practical resources, so please check back for updates.
