Our Process and Standards
The MDLinx team takes time to understand today’s healthcare professionals and develop offerings that address their day-to-day needs.
We focus on a set of standards that matter to our readers. We strive to be:
Credible and Reliable
Our readers make decisions that affect patient outcomes and lives. It is our duty to provide them with content that is trustworthy and dependable.
Our writers and editors prioritize primary sources, peer-reviewed research, and interviews with experts, and we are transparent about where information is obtained. Fact-checkers and board-certified physicians also review each piece to ensure accuracy.
Relevant and Realistic
Our team strives to create relatable content, focusing on actionable takeaways to ensure that our services are useful to our readers. We also prioritize non-clinical topics that our readers encounter on a daily basis, supporting the full breadth and depth of what it means to be a healthcare provider today.
Our content is concise and easy-to-navigate, acknowledging the reality of our readers’ time constraints and making it easy to walk away with what’s most useful.
Ethical
Our content is unbiased and editorially independent, free from advertising influence. Integrity is a top priority. We only accept advertising that provides additional value to our readers, ensuring it doesn’t take away from the reading experience—and we draw a clear line between ads, sponsored content, and MDLinx original editorial content.
