FDA Website provides valuable education resources via email
Most of us receive so many emails each day that it's almost impossible to differentiate between good resources and those that are a waste of our time. One good resource that is worth taking a look at is offered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has a free email alert service that allows you to receive critical FDA news and information as soon as they become available.
It's a free service and you can sign up right on the FDA Website at www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/ContactFDA/StayInformed/GetEmailUpdates/default.htm.
The range of topics includes drug updates, approvals, recalls and safety alerts, research, diseases and conditions, and much more. The information is concise and easy-to-understand and always contains links for you to access more detailed data.
This is a valuable resource for nursing professional development specialists. It helps to keep us informed about many events that have a significant impact on patient care, which, in turn, facilitates our ability to provide education that is both relevant and timely.
