Editorial Standards
TrAPP provides trauma education. Clear attribution separates who develops an activity, who reviews it clinically, and the literature supporting it.
Activity authorship
When TrAPP names an author on an activity, that person approved the listing, and their credentials and professional background have been verified by TrAPP. If no author is named on an activity, it has no approved author — not yet. Simply having an account on TrAPP, or having written a paper we cite in the activity, does not make someone the author of that activity.
Documented clinical review
A clinical reviewer and review date identify an actual review of the specific activity—not a review of a related article or another activity. An activity without a named reviewer or date should not be assumed to have undergone a documented clinical review.
Clinical review dates are not website update dates
A last clinical review date records the documented clinical review. Changes to navigation, appearance, or software do not establish a new clinical review and do not reset that date.
Activity-specific evidence
References identify literature or guidelines used for the specific activity. Links lead to the source organization or publisher; some sources require a subscription. Citing a paper does not imply that its authors reviewed or endorse TrAPP.
Education and clinical judgment
Educational activities do not replace clinical judgment, patient-specific assessment, or local protocols. CME approval is distinct from individual clinician authorship and review. Read how CME works and the content disclaimer.
