Medical review network

The named reviewers who approve content on PsychiatryRx, and the specialist panels we are actively seeking. A reviewer's name only appears on a page they have actually reviewed and approved.

Interested in a broader editorial contribution than review alone — expert perspective sidebars, state-of-practice quotes, teaching examples, corrections, or aggregated data? See how to contribute.

Current reviewers

Every page on this site carries the reviewer's name and last-reviewed date. Reviewer profiles include credentials, area of expertise, financial disclosures, and the list of pages that reviewer approved.

Specialist panels: currently open

PsychiatryRx is actively seeking board-certified specialists to review focused subsets of the site. The goal is not decorative "medical reviewer" badges; it is genuine editorial governance in domains where subspecialty expertise sharpens the content.

If you are a board-certified specialist in one of these areas, we invite you to review the scope of content named below and contact us. Reviewers receive: a public profile page at /reviewers/<your-slug>/ containing your credentials, area of expertise, disclosures, and the list of pages you approved; a shareable reviewer badge you may embed on your own institutional or practice site; and named credit on every page you review.

Reviewers do not receive compensation, referral revenue, or any commercial relationship with the site.

Editorial safeguards

How we verify credentials, handle industry disclosures, and enforce recusal from conflicted content is documented publicly on the editorial safeguards page. Reviewers agree to these safeguards on joining.

To join a panel

Email [email protected] with the subject "Medical review network interest." Include your name, board certification, current practice or academic affiliation, any published work in the panel's scope, financial disclosures, and the panel(s) you would review. We will follow up with the specific pages we would ask you to approve and the timeline.

Every panel seat is filled with an actual reviewer who reviews at least one page in the panel's scope. We do not add reviewers who do not participate. Reviewers may step off a panel at any time; their profile page then notes their last participation date.
