LOCATION

U.S. locations – remote/hybrid. Candidates within commuting distance of a Wolters Kluwer office will be considered for hybrid employment. Candidates not within commuting distances will be considered for remote employment.

The Physician Editor (Adult Pulmonary/Critical Care) position requires an 80 to 90% FTE commitment for editorial work, a broad understanding of clinical issues, and an interest in analyzing the literature. For the right person, this is a unique opportunity to impact the practice of medicine throughout the United States and around the world. Physician Editors ensure that topics address the important clinical questions that arise when diagnosing or managing a specific disorder, present information clearly and succinctly, and provide evidence-based and actionable recommendations for care.

Extensive editorial training is provided to help the editor learn critical skills for evaluating the literature and creating content in the Up To Date  style. Training is overseen by at least two senior Physician Editors. All new topics are read and reviewed by the training editors until the new Physician Editor achieves a satisfactory level of independence.

Our physician editors review and edit the new contributions from our external expert authors to make sure they address the questions that a practicing clinician might have. Topics must contain specific and actionable recommendations and describe the supporting evidence. Updating is an equally important component of the work and is usually initiated by the Physician Editor, who is responsible for monitoring the literature for new developments and identifying topics that need updating.

Physician Editors also systematically review existing topics for clarity, completeness, and clinical relevance. This work is not done in isolation. Up To Date  editors work closely with outside authors, section editors, editors-in-chief, and peer reviewers to ensure the material is accurate and free of bias. In addition, in-house editorial and graphics assistants work with the Physician Editors to produce and maintain each topic.
