Purpose
Why this policy exists
This policy describes how DVMReady creates, updates, and reviews content for clinical tools and NAVLE study materials. Our goal is accuracy, clarity, and usefulness for veterinary students and professionals.
Content Creation
How we build what you read
- Clinical content is drafted by veterinarians or researchers with relevant training
- Study material is organized around high-yield NAVLE topics and common clinical scenarios
- Calculators and tools are built from published formulas and validated references
Sources and References
The references we trust
We rely on established veterinary references and guidelines, including Plumb's Veterinary Drugs, Merck Veterinary Manual, AAHA guidelines, RECOVER CPR guidelines, IRIS staging, and peer-reviewed literature where applicable.
Review Process
How we ensure quality
- New clinical content is reviewed for accuracy before publication
- Existing content is reviewed and updated when guidelines change or errors are identified
- Framework or placeholder pages are clearly marked and not presented as complete study resources
Corrections and Updates
What happens when something changes
When we identify errors or outdated information, we correct it promptly. Major factual changes to clinical content are backdated in our review logs when possible.
Transparency
Being clear about what we publish
- We distinguish between fully built study pages and framework/placeholder pages
- We do not present the platform as an official NAVLE, ICVA, or licensing-board resource
- We clearly label content that is still in development
