Every article is paired with a clinician whose background aligns with the subject matter. That reviewer evaluates claims against current clinical evidence, identifies anything outdated or potentially misleading, and ensures no guidance could put a patient at risk. Once the review is finished, the clinician's name and credentials appear on the article. Any content still awaiting review is labeled accordingly.
Reviewer independence
Each reviewer is an independently licensed clinician contracted on a per-article basis and compensated solely for their review time. No reviewer holds equity in HRT.med, earns referral fees, or has their assessment shaped by any affiliate partnership. We confirm every reviewer's active licensure and credentials prior to their first assignment and re-verify annually.
Certain articles on this site have not yet undergone medical review. Each of these is marked accordingly and should not be considered clinician-verified until a reviewer's name is displayed. We continue to grow our review panel to ensure full coverage of all published material.
