The Air Force Medical Service's Center of Excellence for Medical Multimedia has recently unveiled their latest educational and state-of-the-art website for Airmen and their families dealing with pregnancy.

The Pregnancy A to Z website is the CEMM's 12th educational site that addresses a significant medical topic Airmen deal with frequently and can be found at www.pregnancyatoz.org.

The site features videos, 3-D animations, step-by-step information from conception to delivery, genetic counseling training, downloadable fact sheets and even a section for future fathers.

"The fundamental purpose of the CEMM websites is to empower patients through self-efficacy," said Lt. Col. Constance Smith, director of the CEMM. "The CEMM does this by providing a robust inventory of tools to assist patients with developing self-management skills and behaviors to successfully manage their conditions and diseases."

Other sites available deal with low-back pain, men and women's health, asthma and skin cancer, to name a few. A full list of sites can be found at the CEMM Library.

The CEMM promotes the Air Force Surgeon General's vision of "Trusted Care Anywhere" and makes available products to both military treatment facility staff and their patients.
