The publisher
What we publish
Celsus MedEd publishes clinical teaching material for medical students, junior doctors and general practitioners. The library covers the core curriculum across twenty disciplines, from cardiology to ophthalmology, in case-based tutorials. Question banks, flashcards, OSCE stations and clinical calculators are written from the same text, so they agree with it.
We have published since 2003. The library has been in continuous revision ever since, and every tutorial in it is written for Australian practice: Australian drug names, Australian units, the PBS, and the guidelines an Australian hospital expects its doctors to know.
The tutorials are built on cases. A patient presents, the reader commits to an answer, and the explanation follows. We write for the reader who will be on the ward next week.
Editorial standards
How a tutorial earns its place
Australian practice first
Drug choice and dose follow Therapeutic Guidelines and the Australian Medicines Handbook. Diagnostic criteria, thresholds and screening pathways follow the current statement of the relevant Australian college or society. Where two reputable guidelines disagree, we teach one and name the other.
Sources are named
A claim is referenced to the guideline or the primary study that supports it, and the reference list is printed with the tutorial. We do not cite a source we have not read.
Every tutorial is dated
Each tutorial records the date of its last error review. A review checks doses, thresholds, units and arithmetic against the sources, then checks the tutorial against every other tutorial that covers the same ground.
Corrections are made in the text
When a guideline changes, the tutorial changes, and so do the questions and flashcards written from it. If you find an error, tell us. We would rather hear it from you than have the next reader find it.
The name
Why Celsus
Aulus Cornelius Celsus wrote the oldest complete medical work in Latin. He set out what was known, said who disagreed and why, gave his own view, and admitted what could not be cured. We hold our own tutorials to that.
