Editorial Policy
Effective Date: April 20, 2026
Purpose
RRM Academy publishes educational content on restorative reproductive medicine (RRM), NaProTechnology, fertility awareness-based methods, endometriosis excision surgery, and reproductive endocrinology. Our content is for patient education and clinician reference. It does not replace individualized medical advice from a qualified clinician.
Who Writes Our Content
All clinical content is authored or reviewed by credentialed clinicians with demonstrated expertise in restorative reproductive medicine. Our editorial lead is Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD, Board-Certified OBGYN, MIGS, NFPMC, FCI. Contributing clinicians hold active medical licenses and relevant fellowship training or board certifications.
Patient stories, commentary, and lay-authored content are clearly labeled. Non-clinician contributions do not make treatment recommendations and are reviewed for factual accuracy and alignment with RRM principles before publication.
Sourcing Standards
Clinical claims are sourced from peer-reviewed medical literature. Primary sources include the RRM Research Library (our curated database of more than 3,000 peer-reviewed articles), PubMed, CrossRef, and the published guidelines of professional societies.
We cite primary research rather than press releases, and we provide direct links or DOIs wherever possible. When a claim is not yet supported by published evidence, we say so explicitly.
Editorial Independence
RRM Academy is a program of the Restorative Reproductive Medicine Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 93-4594315). We accept no payment, sponsorship, or in-kind support from pharmaceutical manufacturers, assisted reproductive technology providers, or commercial fertility clinics. Course affiliate relationships, where they exist, are disclosed on the relevant course page.
Funding sources and material financial relationships are disclosed on our About page. Authors disclose any conflicts of interest relevant to a specific article at the point of publication.
Review Process
New clinical articles are reviewed for accuracy, citation integrity, and voice alignment before publication. Pillar guides and condition-level content receive physician review from an RRM-trained clinician. Posts that cite statistics undergo automated citation verification before deploy; URLs that fail verification block publication.
Scope and Limits
RRM Academy does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or personalized care recommendations. Our content explains what RRM is, how it works, and what the evidence shows. It is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. Readers with specific medical concerns should seek evaluation from a physician trained in restorative reproductive medicine.
