Which Medical Specialties Does Healio Cover?
Updated
Healio organizes its medical news, education, and clinical content by specialty, and its site navigation lists the full set of options you can browse. Based on the specialty selector shown on the site, the covered areas include allergy/asthma, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology/oncology, hepatology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, ophthalmology, optometry, orthopedics, pediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, pulmonology, rheumatology, and women's health & OB/GYN. If your field appears in that list, you can filter news and resources to match your practice; if it doesn't, the site's specialty-based browsing won't surface content tailored to you.
How the specialty browsing works
Healio presents content through a "View by Specialty" structure. The page evidence shows a selector with an "All Specialties" default and a "Choose a specialty" prompt, followed by the list of individual specialties. Selecting one narrows what you see to that field rather than the full mixed feed.
The same page also shows content organized by format alongside specialty, including:
- Headline News — recent reporting, with items tagged by date and read time (for example, a 3 min read on HHS claims and Tylenol/autism misinformation, or a 2 min read on an expanded drug approval).
- Meeting News — coverage tied to specific conferences, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition.
- Podcasts and Columns — additional formats listed in the main navigation.
- Resources — collections such as a healthcare policy special report.

What this means for you
If you're deciding whether Healio is relevant to your work, the practical test is whether your specialty is in the table above. The site is described as medical news, education, and information for physicians and health care professionals, presented by specialty and topic, so the specialty list is the main filter for finding content aimed at your field.
Two things worth noting before you rely on it:
- Subscription vs. free access. The site includes a "Newspaper and Journal Subscriptions" link, which signals that some content sits behind a subscription. The available evidence doesn't specify which items are free and which require payment, so don't assume everything is open access.
- Content is dated and updated continuously. The headline items carry specific dates, so if you're looking for the latest in your specialty, check the publication date rather than assuming a page is current.
If your specialty isn't listed, browsing by topic or checking the meeting news and resource collections may still turn up relevant material, but the specialty selector won't be the tool for you.
