'Website(s): Several key informants described plans for introducing an online presence within or linked to their medical school’s website, when they responded to this survey question. MH-related URLs listed in this column include both those provided by key informants (n=9), as well as eight additional URLs we identified when we subsequently scanned the websites of all 17 medical schools in April 2016 (the latter set included URLs associated with both new as well as long-established websites).
