Editorial Policy & Medical Review Process

Our 5-step medical review workflow

  1. Author drafting (plain language): Editors write clear, actionable copy that explains what a tool does, inputs/outputs, and how to interpret results.
  2. Clinician review: A licensed clinician checks medical claims, contraindications, edge cases, and risk explanation.
  3. Fact-check & citations: We verify against primary sources (guidelines, systematic reviews, PubMed). Citations are listed on each tool/page.
  4. UX & accessibility: We target WCAG 2.2 AA, mobile-first rendering, and reading grade ≈ 8–10 where possible.
  5. Publishing & monitoring: Pages display “Reviewed on” dates and are re-checked at least every 6–12 months or sooner if guidelines change.

Reviewer qualifications & transparency

Our content is reviewed by independent clinicians with relevant training and practice backgrounds. Representative specialties include:

  • Internal Medicine — (e.g., Dr. Michael Thompson, MD)
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology — (e.g., Dr. Sarah Johnson, MD, FACOG)
  • Clinical Nutrition — (e.g., Dr. Rachel Green, RD, MS)
  • Epidemiology & Public Health — (e.g., Dr. David Miller, PhD)

Evidence standards we rely on

We prioritize current, high-quality, primary sources:

  • Global/national bodies: WHO, CDC, NIH/NLM (PubMed), NICE, NHS, ICMR
  • Specialty guidelines: USPSTF, ACOG, ADA, ACC/AHA
  • Peer-reviewed evidence: systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and consensus statements

We avoid outdated/uncited tertiary blogs and single low-quality studies for clinical claims.

Updates & recency

  • Routine review cycle: every 6–12 months
  • Immediate review when major guidelines change (e.g., screening cut-offs, contraindications)
  • Version notes added if changes affect medical meaning

Corrections & feedback

If you spot an error or missing citation, please contact support@mymedicineadvisor.com or use our Contact page.
We aim to respond within 1–2 business days and complete clinical verification within 5 business days. If medical meaning changes, we post a dated correction note.

Independence, ads & affiliates

Medical content and tool logic are independent from advertisers and partners.
Any ads or sponsorships are clearly labeled and do not influence our guidance or results.

Accessibility & plain language

  • WCAG 2.2 AA goals (contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels)
  • Mobile-first UI and screen-reader friendly summaries
  • Clear disclaimers: educational only; not a substitute for professional care
