A transparent gateway to our evidence and editorial standards.
This section helps clinicians, researchers and other professionals quickly understand how our public-facing health content is sourced, reviewed and corrected.
Last updated: September 16, 2026
Scope
Our website is primarily a public educational resource. Unless a page explicitly states otherwise, content is not a clinical decision-support tool, guideline, continuing-education activity or substitute for primary literature.
Review transparency
When a qualified medical reviewer has reviewed an article, the reviewer and role should be identified. Pages without that label should not be assumed to have received clinician review.
Evidence traceability
We encourage professional readers to inspect cited guidance and primary literature, particularly for fast-moving, controversial or treatment-related topics.
Corrections
Professionals who identify a material error can send the page URL, the disputed statement and supporting evidence through our Contact page.
Professional feedback is welcome, but publication on this website does not imply endorsement by a medical society, regulator or academic institution.
