Professional Associations

Professional associations provide a wide variety of consumer information and are especially useful in the health field.  Look for information on how to choose your heath professional, what questions to ask, and how to know if you are receiving adequate care.  In addition to membership directories, many professional associations publish patients' bills of rights or statements of professional ethics and supply informational pamphlets on treatment and procedures and news of current research.  The associations listed below provide such information and most have resource links to additional resources.  Look for other associations you need in the Library online database Associations Unlimited.
