This post holds a selection of sources that may be used to keep onesself updated in the area of medical news.

I have a few medical RSS news feeds on my General Internet & Print Resources subject guide and more on my Public Health subject guide.

There have been ongoing medical news reports in the posts to Net-Gold and the some of the sources of these reports of news stories should constitute good sources for medical news.

Google News of course covers medical news. Do not overlook Google Blogs and Google Groups as corners of the news are covered in sources that are not standard such as coverage of developments in alternative medicine in these sources.

Major daily newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and so forth have health or medical news sections daily. Major medical resource sites or portals like WebMD also tend to have medical or health news sections and CNN also has medical news.

This is an expanded version of a response to a question response summary on MedLib-L that summarizes sources cited by several librarians for medical news

Medical News Databases – Summary <http://list.uvm.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0809A&L=MEDLIB-L&T=0&F=&S=&P=27453>

Finally, news and discussion of news in specific areas of medical interest are often part of the discussion on specific topic medical groups on group servers like Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, Jiglu, university discussion group servers and other discussion group servers or web based discussion boards.
