The core responsibilities of a medical reviewer include organizing the work of the editorial team, developing an editorial calendar, proofreading and editing texts, and publishing materials.

A key focus area for a medical reviewer is:

Clinical accuracy checks

• Verifying descriptions of diseases, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatments against current clinical guidelines (WHO, NICE, EULAR, etc.)

• Updating outdated information and adding references to recent reviews and meta-analyses

Content quality assessment

• Checking the logical structure of articles, clarity of wording, and absence of ambiguity

• Ensuring correct medical terminology and consistency in the use of abbreviations

Compliance with regulations and ethics

• Ensuring that recommendations and treatment descriptions do not conflict with national or international standards

• Reviewing sections on informed consent, contraindications, and precautions

User-generated content moderation

• Evaluating reader comments and expert feedback for incorrect advice, unsupported claims, or calls to self-medication

• Editing or removing any posts that contain health-hazardous recommendations

Link management and formatting

• Verifying that all external links point to authoritative sources (e.g., PubMed publications, professional societies, clinical guidelines)

• Ensuring citation and linking standards are followed to enhance credibility and SEO

Audience tailoring

• Adjusting writing style: more in-depth, mechanism-focused content for professionals; simplified, jargon-free content for patients

• Balancing professional rigor with text readability

Multimedia review

• Checking scientific accuracy of infographics, diagrams, videos, and podcasts
