To further our mission of making reliable medical information and our systems available to healthcare professionals worldwide, we accept advertising and sponsorship under strict guidelines. We will refuse any advertisement that we believe is incompatible with our mission. The presence of an ad on our site does not imply endorsement of the advertised company or product. Advertisers and sponsors must not make unsubstantiated health claims or suggest that ScyMed has endorsed a product or service. No advertisements related to the following are accepted on ScyMed.com: alcohol, tobacco products, firearms/fireworks, pornography, sweepstakes, gambling, politics, social causes or religion. Advertising is not targeted to individual users but may be placed on the site adjacent to our panels related to advertiser or sponsor interest.

ScyMed maintains a distinct separation between advertising content and editorial content. All advertising content on ScyMed.com, is clearly labeled as an advertisement. Sponsored areas of the site are labeled as such, and the sponsoring organizations are identified.
