Medical Content Reviewer, Treatments Hub
Licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist (Registered Medical Technologist) and Master of Public Health graduate
What Francheska reviews on this site
Reviews the medical and scientific statements on a page: mechanism of action, clinical-trial figures, regulatory status, contraindications, side effects and terminology. Does not review prices, rankings, partner selection or provider descriptions, which are editorial.
Pages she has reviewed carry a dated “Reviewed for medical accuracy” line; pages she has not yet reviewed name her as the site’s medical reviewer without a review date. The full policy is in how we review.
