Our Editorial Mission
CrackCMS exists to make high-yield, evidence-based medical knowledge accessible to every aspirant preparing for UPSC CMS, NEET PG, INI-CET, FMGE, USMLE and other medical examinations. Every question, explanation, mnemonic, and study note on CrackCMS follows a strict editorial workflow before it reaches a learner.
1. Sourcing & Curation
- Previous-year questions are transcribed from official conducting-body publications.
- AI-generated questions are written by clinicians and verified by our medical-review team.
- Explanations cite standard textbooks (Harrison, Robbins, Bailey & Love, Ghai, Park, Nelson, Goodman & Gilman, Katzung).
- Current guidelines (NMC, WHO, ICMR, NICE, AAP) are cross-checked before publication.
2. Medical Review
Every AI-generated or user-flagged explanation passes through a two-stage medical review: first by an MD/MS-qualified subject specialist, then by our editorial lead. Reviews cover factual accuracy, currency, alignment with the source textbook, and absence of harmful clinical advice.
3. Sources & Citations
CrackCMS uses a tiered source hierarchy:
- Tier 1 — official notifications (UPSC, NBE, AIIMS, NMC, USMLE).
- Tier 2 — standard medical textbooks (latest edition).
- Tier 3 — peer-reviewed journals (PubMed, Cochrane).
- Tier 4 — institutional guidelines (WHO, ICMR, NICE).
- Tier 5 — verified open-access medical references.
4. Updates & Versioning
Question banks are versioned in questions_fixture.json and republished each release. Each question carries a last_reviewed timestamp visible to admins. Outdated explanations are tagged & scheduled for re-review every 12 months.
5. Conflict of Interest
Authors and reviewers disclose any financial relationship with pharmaceutical, medical device, or coaching-industry companies. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive content placement.
6. AI Safety & Bias Review
AI-tutor outputs are sampled weekly for toxicity, hallucination, and demographic bias. A dedicated red-team prompt set tests for unsafe clinical recommendations. Findings are reviewed by our medical board.
7. Corrections Policy
Verified corrections are published within 7 days. The question's explanation card shows a "Recently corrected" badge for 30 days, and the original contributor is notified. Substantive corrections trigger an email to all users who attempted the question in the prior 30 days.
