- Overview
- Minimum eligibility requirements
- Organizations with pre-existing, standardized vetting mechanisms not based in the US, UK, IN, CA, DE, FR, BR, JP, KR, and MX.
- How to apply
Note: The criteria and process outlined in this article applies only to authoritative health providers based in the US, UK, DE, BR, ID, JP, FR, KR, and MX.
Outside of the countries listed above, organizations with pre-existing, standardized vetting mechanisms such as accredited hospitals, academic medical institutions, public health departments, or government organizations who would like to be considered for eligibility in our health features can submit a request via the feedback tool available in the menu from your profile picture.
In the feedback, please include your channel details, channel URL, country, and website with “#healthinfo”. This feedback is reviewed on a periodic basis. Eligible channels may take months to show up in our features.
At YouTube, we’re committed to connecting viewers with health content from authoritative sources. As our health features grow, we’re looking to expand the types of health sources used in some of our health features. To expand eligibility for authoritative sources, we’re introducing an application process for health-focused YouTube channels.
To inform this process, we worked with third-party health authorities to define principles for how creators share health info online. These health authorities include:
Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS)
• Attest to the Health Information Sharing Principles. Experts convened by CMSS, NAM, and The WHO developed these principles outlining key aspects of info sharing. These aspects help define what it means to be a credible source of health info on social media. In the UK applicants must attest to the AoMRC principles instead.
• Be licensed in one of these health professions in the country/region that you’re applying to be an authoritative source. For example, you must be a licensed nurse in the United States to be eligible for the health features in the United States. If you’re applying on behalf of an organization, you must be a licensed professional in one of these professions. You must also have oversight and review of the content your organization posts on YouTube.
• Licensed Doctor (eligible to practice medicine in the relevant country)
• Licensed Nurse / Registered Nurse
• Licensed Psychologist or equivalent
• Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist or equivalent
If you are not based in any of the countries mentioned above, you can still express interest to be included as a health source in our authoritative health features.
Currently, only organizations with pre-existing, standardized vetting mechanisms such as accredited hospitals, academic medical institutions, public health departments, or government organizations can apply to be considered as a health source.
To express interest:
• Click Send feedback using the menu from your profile picture on YouTube.
• Include your channel details, channel URL, country, and website with “#healthinfo”.
This feedback is reviewed on a periodic basis to determine if the channel is affiliated with accredited health organizations, academic medical journals, or government entities.
If you, or a representative from your organization, meet the above eligibility criteria, you are welcome to apply here. We’ll get back to you with a decision once your channel is reviewed (typically in about 1-2 months). Accepted applicants may become eligible to start surfacing in select features in early 2023.
Accepted applicants are periodically reassessed. If you, or the channel, no longer meet the eligibility criteria, you may no longer be eligible for certain YouTube Health features.
