Health Daily
Each day, pick an article on health or medicine in the news and answer five open-response questions on what it actually said. The grader has the article — general knowledge alone won't be enough. Earn a comprehension badge for every article you pass. Self-study to read health journalism carefully — not a credential, and not medical advice. Questions test what the piece reported, never what you should do for your own health.
How this works
Pick a health or medicine article from today's Arc Codex feed and read it. Answer five open-response questions on what it actually said.

This is self-study to read health journalism carefully — not a credential, and not medical advice. The questions test what the piece reported, never what you should do for your own health; for medical decisions, talk to a clinician.
