YouTube has just announced that certain healthcare professionals and health information providers can now apply to have their channels certified and eligible for YouTube's health product features. Eligible channels will be given a health source information panel that will identify them as licensed health professionals and have their videos appear in relevant search results. For now, YouTube is focusing on helping doctors, nurses, mental health professionals, and health information providers bring high-quality health information on YouTube. For healthcare professionals who would like their channel to be certified, applicants must submit their proof of license and have a YouTube channel in good standing.
