Access to reliable, trustworthy medical advice when you need it is important, which is why we’ve added a dynamic new online health library to UTHealthcare.org.

Wondering about a type of medication you’ve seen advertised? Curious about that side effect your doctor mentioned during your visit, but you forgot to ask about? Our online resource can help.

The health library has sections on wellness and prevention, a symptom checker tool and a drug database. It includes a dictionary of procedures to help you better understand any tests or surgeries that may be on the horizon for you or a family member.

Animated videos and simple drawings in the new health library make complex medical terms and conditions easier to understand. You’ll also find a news section to keep you up-to-date on the latest discussions and discoveries in medicine.

Of course, the information is not considered medical advice and is not designed to replace the advice of a health care provider. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers prior to starting any new treatment or with questions regarding a medical condition. But we hope this online tool, written by health professionals, helps answer questions and helps you feel confident about medical decisions.
