About the AthleticsMD Clinical Desk

Articles from the AthleticsMD Clinical Desk summarise published research and public health guidance in plain language. They are educational and are not medical advice; decisions about your care belong with a clinician who knows your history.

How articles are made

Each article starts from public primary sources: PubMed abstracts, the Federal Register, or Grants.gov. A draft is written with AI from those sources only, and then checked automatically before it can publish: every number must appear in a source, every paragraph must cite one, every citation must point to a source that was actually read, and an independent AI fact-check compares each claim against the source text. Articles that fail any check are held and never published. An article shows "Reviewed by" only when a named person has reviewed it.

Articles are educational. They do not describe any individual's care and are not medical, legal or financial advice.
