Editorial Policy
MedVellum aims to make medical education useful, cited, and safe by default.
AI Assistance And Disclosure
MedVellum content is generated, structured, and revised with artificial intelligence. The site should clearly disclose AI assistance and should not imply human peer review, board certification, hospital affiliation, or professional endorsement unless that claim is real, named, and verifiable.
Evidence Standards
Topic pages should be grounded in current guidelines, major trials, systematic reviews, landmark papers, and reputable medical references. Safety-critical claims, drug recommendations, and emergency pathways should include citations or clear links to references.
Review Workflow
Content is checked for clinical accuracy, exam relevance, clarity, red flags, and update status as part of an AI-assisted editorial workflow. Current workflow descriptions are listed on the editorial process page. A page should only display a clinician reviewer when the reviewer is real, named, and credential verification has been completed.
Corrections
If a page appears inaccurate, outdated, unsafe, or unclear, readers should report it through the contact page. Corrections are prioritized by patient-safety risk, frequency of use, and exam relevance.
Separation From Advertising
Editorial content is written for educational value. Advertising, sponsorship, or monetization considerations must not determine clinical recommendations, citations, or safety warnings.
