About YSM Editorial

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) is one of the country's leading centers for biomedical research, medical education, and advanced clinical care. YSM’s Office of Communications partners with our community of researchers, educators, and physicians to publish informative articles on our website and multiple dedicated social media channels.

As the editorial voice of Yale School of Medicine, we produce content that adheres to rigorous editorial standards, working closely with our research faculty as experts in their areas. Our goal is to provide accurate information on Yale research that aims to reduce or eliminate the effects of serious diseases and medical conditions and highlight the many community programs in which the school participates.

We take transparency about content authorship very seriously. While our articles are written by in-house science writers and communications specialists, as well as freelance journalists who specialize in relevant scientific writing, some incorporate the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI). All YSM articles undergo rigorous editing and fact- and reference-checking by the YSM editorial team, as well as close review by the YSM faculty members whose work is being described.

Experts who are interviewed and quoted in the articles and, if appropriate, others in their field of specialty, review every piece of content for medical and scientific accuracy prior to publication.
