Our Mission

Our mission is to serve the informational needs of health care professionals and students with high quality products designed to help them practice more effectively.

Our Products

Our products are designed to serve the informational needs of physicians, trainees, medical students, dentists, dental auxiliaries, and allied health professionals. We also publish titles for consumers on wellness and specific medical conditions. We deliver our products in print and electronic formats, including journals, books and CD-ROMs. Each of our products reflects the ongoing commitment we have made to provide excellence in content and design.

Journals and Newsletters

We currently publish 24 specialty journals in medicine, dentistry, nutrition and audiology. Our journals provide high-quality original research as well as practical articles on clinical topics. Many of our journals are the official publication of American, Canadian and International societies.

Books

In 2005, we will publish over 25 new books in medicine and dentistry. Virtually all of our books include, at no additional cost, a CD-ROM with full text and image, giving our customers the option of accessing material in the format most convenient to them. As well as individual books, we publish outstanding, original series Evidence Based Medicine, Advanced Therapy, and ACS Atlas of Clinical Oncology. We publish in the areas of dentistry_; gastroenterology, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, oncology, otolaryngology, primary care, pulmonary medicine, thoracic medicine and other specialties. Our books are available wherever health sciences publications are sold.

Electronic Media

We pioneered the concept of Patient Management Problems on CD-ROM and floppy disks. These programs provide challenging cases for physicians to improve their skills and earn CME credits. Each disk provides a case presentation with histories and lab reports, followed by options the physician selects to determine the diagnosis and best course of therapy. We currently produce these products for obstetrics and gynecology, urology and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, with additional areas of coverage planned.

DTC

As the name implies, this product line provides scientifically accurate information on health related topics to consumers, empowering them to discuss their diagnosis and treatment knowledgeably with their physician. Our line of patient information handbooks covers such problems as headache, asthma, arthritis, and otitis media.
