Who can review

Two kinds of review

Every topic is published only after a physician's review and a cross-check by a second reviewer.

  • Physicians (MD or DO)

    Your review is the clinical review: is each topic accurate, safe, and framed as information rather than advice? Oncology and urology are ideal, and any physician can help.

  • Other licensed health professionals

    Nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, genetic counselors, and dietitians can cross-check that each topic matches its sources and reads plainly.

  • Credit, if you want it

    If you choose, you're named as a reviewer on the topics you review. If not, the record says "a physician, name on file" or "a licensed health professional, name on file".

What needs review first

Priority for physicians

Treatments, tests, and stages come first, because they're closest to decisions about care. Select a topic to open it in the content map.

How it works

Review at your own pace

There's no account to create. Your review is saved in your browser as you go, so you can stop and pick up where you left off.

  1. Say hello

    Message Brandon Lippincott on LinkedIn, so your license can be confirmed before your review is recorded.

  2. Start review mode

    Open review mode in the content map and add your name, credentials, and role.

  3. Review each topic

    Accept it, suggest edits, or reject it, and say why. Each topic shows its text, sources, and standard codes.

  4. Send your review

    Download your review as one file and attach it to a LinkedIn message. Nothing is sent until you do.

What to check

Five questions for every topic

  1. Is every statement supported by its sources?
  2. Does it inform without advising, framed as things to know and questions to ask?
  3. Is it safe: nothing that could lead someone to delay care, skip a step, or misread a warning sign?
  4. Is it plain and kind, with medical words explained?
  5. Are its links and standard codes right, and is anything important missing?

Your name, credentials, and decisions stay in your browser until you download and send your review. They're used only to confirm your license and to record your review. Please don't include anyone's health details.
