Editorial Policy for the UHealth Collective

As South Florida’s only academic medical center, the University of Miami Health System is more than just a place for medical care … it’s a hub for education, research, and community health. Through the UHealth Collective Blog, we strive to share timely, relevant, and medically sound health information that helps you and your family make the best choices for your health.

That’s why we write every post with you in mind, whether you’re looking for expert advice, the latest medical research, or practical tips for managing your health.

Our Expertise

Our content leverages the knowledge and expertise of over 2,700 physicians and scientists. UHealth, supported by the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, is home to more than 100 medical specialties, including:

• Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, ranked No. 1 in ophthalmology in the U.S.

• Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated center in South Florida.

We don’t just report on health topics. We strive to be a bridge between our experts and our readers by translating their expertise into accessible content.

Our Commitment to Accuracy and Trust

Every post on the UHealth Collective Blog follows a rigorous editorial process to ensure accuracy, clarity, and reliability. Here’s how we do it:

• Expert Review: Every article is reviewed by a UHealth physician or subject matter expert before it is published.

• Clear, Reader-Friendly Writing: We avoid medical jargon and explain complex health topics in ways that are easy to understand, because health information should empower, not confuse.

• Transparency with Dates: Each post includes a publication date, so you know when it was written.

• Ongoing Updates: Because medicine is always evolving, we regularly review and update our content to reflect the latest medical research, guidelines, and best practices.

• Responsible Use of Images: When we use AI-generated images on the UHealth Collective, they are general and illustrative only. They never depict real patients, staff, or actual medical events.

• Responsible Use of AI in Writing: Articles may be aided by AI, but they are always edited by a human and approved by the medical specialist featured in the article.

Our mission is to be your trusted health and wellness resource, informing, guiding, and supporting you every step of the way.
