Health is a complex and dynamic subject. In the digital age, medical and health information can come from reliable and unreliable resources, so it is necessary to review the data and seek out evidence from experts. As educators, we must provide our students with the most current and reliable health information available and teach skills that will help students determine which information is fact and which is fiction.
