What determines whether the facts taught are medically accurate?
As defined in EC Section 51931(f), instruction is medically accurate if it is verified or supported by research conducted in compliance with scientific methods and published in peer reviewed journals and recognized as accurate and objective by agencies with expertise in the field, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Further, EC Section 51934 (b) states that medically accurate information may also be obtained from the United States Surgeon General and the National Academy of Sciences.
