What is ME/CFS?

MEDICAL PROVIDER EDUCATION: **This video provides a basic introduction into the National Academy of Medicine's 2015 diagnostic criteria of ME/CFS.**

In 2015, a committee of the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) reviewed the ME/CFS scientific literature and proposed clinical diagnostic criteria, with the specific goal of empowering more medical professionals to make a diagnosis of ME/CFS. This video provides a basic overview of these clinical diagnostic criteria, which highlight the most common core features of ME/CFS.

Although the content is geared towards healthcare professionals, and only opens the door to everything there is to learn about ME/CFS, this video serves as a simple educational tool to assist family members, employers, teachers, and members of the general public to gain insight and a better understanding of the disease as it impacts those with ME/CFS.

You can learn more about orthostatic intolerance and post-exertional malaise in our subsequent videos.

These videos were made possible with support from the Utah Medical Association, the R. Harold Burton Foundation, and other generous donors.
