The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) and others are working to provide distance learning solutions for network members, health professionals and the healthcare consumer. Technology is helping to overcome some of the barriers to both taking and providing classes and other educational opportunities. This page points to various distance learning opportunities.
