Signs of a trustworthy resource
A reliable resource names who runs it and where its information comes from. Official fellowship sites, government health agencies, established nonprofits, and licensed providers all make their identity and contact details easy to find.
It also shows the date information was last checked. Meeting schedules, phone numbers, and eligibility rules change, and a resource that never says when it was updated is harder to rely on.
Warning signs
Be cautious with pages that require your phone number before showing any information, promise a particular outcome, advertise "guaranteed" success rates, or present a single facility as the only option. These patterns are typical of lead-generation sites rather than directories.
Pressure to decide immediately — limited beds, expiring offers, countdowns — is a sales technique, not a clinical recommendation.
Checking a meeting listing
For any meeting, confirm the day, time, and address on the organizer's own page or by phone before traveling. If a listing on this site and an official source disagree, trust the official source and let us know so we can correct it.
Verification is a process, not a guarantee. We label what we have checked and when, and we remove listings we can no longer confirm.
