Our editorial policy

Clinique Omicron is committed to providing medical content that is rigorous, reliable, and compliant with the standards of Quebec professional orders. Each article published follows a documented and transparent editorial process.

Writing

The articles are written by a medical writer specializing in public health communication for a general audience, using official and verifiable sources. The writer is not necessarily a healthcare professional within the meaning of the Quebec Professional Code – their role is to translate medical information into accessible and educational content.

Fact-check

Each piece of information is cross-referenced with recognized sources: Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ), Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ), Ordre des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec (ODNQ), Health Canada, INESSS, and peer-reviewed medical literature.

Medical supervision

The editorial framework and clinical guidelines of the blog are validated by the medical team at Clinique Omicron. Omicron's clinical activities are overseen by a rotating group of responsible physicians, who co-sign collective prescriptions in accordance with the CMQ's regulations. Sensitive clinical content is subject to medical review before publication.

Update

Each article is reviewed at least every 12 months or when there is a change in official medical recommendations. The last modification date is displayed on each publication.

Professional orders

Our professionals are registered with their respective professional orders: CMQ (physicians), OIIQ (nursing care), ODNQ (nutrition), OPQ (pharmacy), Ordre des psychologues du Québec, and OOAQ (speech therapy-audiology).

Editorial independence

No published content is sponsored or influenced by external commercial interests. Recommendations reflect the current state of medical knowledge and current Quebec guidelines.

Important notice: The blog content is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for the advice of a doctor or authorized healthcare professional. For any questions regarding your health condition, consult a qualified professional.
