Editorial integrity
Medical review panel.
Medcasts is a coordinator, not a medical provider. Pages are written by our editorial team from published clinical sources. A named reviewer is shown on any page a clinician has reviewed. This page explains how reviewers are credited.
Panel onboarding in progress
We are actively recruiting our permanent review panel.
Until the panel is finalized, directory pages are reviewed by the Medcasts editorial desk against our published methodology. We will not attribute clinical review to a named physician who has not given written consent and whose license we have not independently verified.
If you are a practicing specialist interested in serving on the panel, write to medcastsdigital@gmail.com with your registration details and specialty. Panel members receive a modest honorarium and a permanent profile here.
How we verify reviewers
- Independent verification of medical license in their registration country (NMC / GMC / NPI / equivalent).
- Written consent to appear as a named reviewer, renewable annually.
- Conflict-of-interest disclosure — any hospital equity, consulting, or speaker arrangements are declared on this page.
- A reviewer is only named on pages they have actually reviewed, and the review date is shown.
What we don't do
- Attribute clinical review to any physician who has not given written consent.
- Publish reviewer credentials without independent license verification.
- Use reviewer names as a marketing prop on pages they have not actually reviewed.
- Accept payment from hospitals or clinics in exchange for editorial review outcomes.
