We recently launched an expert-led channel on VuMedi, a global education platform for healthcare professionals. The channel features videos and research-informed content on ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related conditions, helping clinicians strengthen their understanding and provide evidence-informed care.

VuMedi is free for licensed healthcare professionals and designed to support lifelong learning across specialties. Access to OMF’s VuMedi channel is limited to healthcare providers. Anyone without a medical license can visit vumedi.com to learn more about the platform, and we encourage everyone to share OMF’s VuMedi channel with their healthcare professionals.
