Academic Disclaimer

Last updated: 24 March 2026

1. Supplementary Tool Only

MedQBank is designed to be a supplementary study aid to help you practise and reinforce concepts. It is not intended to replace:

• Attendance at lectures, tutorials, practicals, or clinical sessions
• Engagement with official UWA course materials and learning objectives
• Prescribed textbooks and reading lists
• Guidance from lecturers, tutors, and academic advisors
• Your own independent study, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning

2. No Guarantee of Academic Performance

Using MedQBank does not guarantee any particular grade, exam score, or academic outcome. Your academic performance is determined by many factors including — but not limited to — your overall study habits, comprehension of material, engagement with the curriculum, and exam technique. MedQBank is one tool among many and should be used as part of a balanced study strategy.

3. Content May Contain Errors

The content in MedQBank has been created using a combination of:

• The creator’s own medical knowledge and understanding
• AI-assisted content generation
• Interpretation of lecture material

While every effort has been made to verify accuracy against authoritative medical sources, errors may exist. Questions, answers, explanations, flashcards, mnemonics, and other materials may contain inaccuracies, oversimplifications, or outdated information. If you identify any errors, please use the in-app reporting feature so they can be corrected.

4. User Sole Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

• Deciding how and to what extent you use MedQBank in your study routine
• Verifying all information against authoritative, peer-reviewed sources
• Your own academic decisions and time management
• Understanding and complying with UWA’s academic integrity policies
• Your own exam performance and academic outcomes

5. Independent Student Project

MedQBank was created by an individual medical student at UWA. It is:

• Not an official UWA resource or endorsed product
• Not reviewed, approved, or validated by UWA faculty
• Not affiliated with any university department, society, or organisation
• Not peer-reviewed in the academic sense

The creator is a fellow student sharing a study tool — not providing professional medical education or advice.

6. Lecture-Derived Content

Some content is derived from or inspired by UWA lecture material. This use falls within the fair dealing for research or study exception under Section 40 of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). Specifically:

• The content has been substantially transformed into original question-and-answer formats, flashcards, mnemonics, and study aids — it is not a verbatim reproduction of lecture slides or notes
• The purpose is strictly non-commercial — MedQBank is free and generates no revenue
• Access is restricted to UWA students and staff — the same community that has access to the original materials
• The use does not substitute for or compete with the original lecture materials

All lecture-derived content is provided for personal, non-commercial educational use only. You must not download, scrape, copy, redistribute, or share any content from MedQBank outside of the platform.

Under Section 40(2) of the Act, the fairness of this dealing is assessed against factors including: (a) the purpose is research/study, not commercial exploitation; (b) the nature of the original works is educational; (c) only a reasonable portion of any single work is used; (d) the dealing has no effect on the marketfor the original lectures, which remain available only through UWA’s LMS; and (e) the material could not reasonably be obtained in a timely manner in its transformed study-aid form from any other source.

7. Medical Information Disclaimer

Content in MedQBank is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Do not use information from MedQBank for clinical decision-making or patient care. Always defer to qualified medical professionals and evidence-based clinical guidelines in any clinical context.
